Kidding
Yes, it is the name for giving birth.
Parturition, or the act of giving birth.
No, the hormones needed to produce milk are not produced until after the goat has given birth.
If you're asking what "kidding" means in animal terms, the answer is a goat giving birth. A kid is a baby goat.
Yes they do. Cows giving milk is as natural as they come: ALL female mammals, after giving birth, produce milk.
Only if you gave birth to a goat. Just because goat's milk is an unusual thing to drink in our culture, does not make it superior. The best thing for a baby is its mother's breast milk. Goat's milk, cow's milk, or formula is just a substitution. And substitutions are just that poor imitations of what is best.
If the goat has a kid that nurses no. If the goat just gave birth and the kid is gone it is best to milk the goat or she will experience a lot of pain due to milk in the udders. You need to milk her twice a day. Goat milk is very good to drink.
It is not recommended as the first milk produced, colostrum, is vital for the kids that are going to be born.
