Care of Does

Proper care of does helps maintain their health, reproductive performance, milk production, and ability to raise healthy kids. Does should receive adequate nutrition according to their age, body condition, pregnancy, lactation, and production requirements. Clean drinking water, mineral supplementation, good-quality fodder, and suitable concentrate feed should be provided when required.

Does should be regularly monitored for changes in appetite, body condition, udder health, reproductive problems, and signs of disease. Clean housing and proper hygiene are essential, particularly for does after kidding. Overcrowding and excessive stress should be avoided, and pregnant or lactating does may need separate management according to the farm’s production system.
