Kid Disease Prevention

A proper kid goat management program will not only get kids off to a good start, but will greatly reduce to potential for diseases down the road.  Steps for a kid disease program include:

  1. Begin coccidiosis prevention via feed or start monitoring fecals by three weeks of age.

  2. Begin a CDT vaccination series at 4, 8  and 12 weeks of age.   
    -  Clostridium Types C&D plus Tetanus 

  3. Begin deworming at 6-8 weeks of age.

  4. Start CAE (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis) testing at 6 months of age.

It is always a good idea to consult a veterinarian with further questions on any vaccination program.
