Management - Goats

Identify appropriate management practices that should be followed from birth to weaning.

Herd Health management and preventive medicine programs are designed to minimize potential adverse effects of these predictable constraints and to protect against unexpected ones. The goal of a good management program is to improve the goat herd's productivity through general husbandry, nutritional management, parasite control, vaccination, and environmental management. In goats surviving the neonatal period, diseases that inhibit rapid, efficient growth are pneumonia, coccidiosis, and gastrointestinal parasites.
