Feeding a Week-Old Goat Kid: Milk Volume Guidelines

Goat kids need 10–15% of body weight in milk daily. For a 10 lb (4.5 kg) week-old kid:

• Daily milk: 1–1.5 lb (450–700 mL).
• Divided into 3–4 feedings: ~110–175 mL per feeding.

Use a goat-specific milk replacer or pasteurized goat milk. Weigh the kid regularly to adjust volume. Overfeeding causes diarrhea; underfeeding stunts growth. Consult a vet for tailored advice.
