You most definetly can! About 4 years ago i found two abandoned newborn kittens in my backyard. I took them to a vet to get tips on how to take care of them. They said the best thing to give them is goats milk. They also gave us a serenge, a small bottle works fine too. We fed them the goats milk till they were able to start eating soft kitten food without goats milk. Then when they were old enough and had stronger teeth, we fed them hard kitten food. The kind we got was Science Diet. They are strong and healthy as can be, today. So goats milk is perfetly fine. Formula is good too, but goats milk is better if you ask me.
How do make them open their mouths to drink the milk?
goat milk
It would have different formulations - it is preferable to feed your goat kid specifically produced goat milk formula or if you can't get that full cream powdered milk.
Milk replacer formula, or raw milk. Don't feed the calf homogenized or pasteurized milk, because they are devoid of the essential bacteria that are killed off in the pasteurizing process.
If you can try to feed it mostly milk. It needs to get healthy.
There is no such thing as regular milk. Milk is either whole or separated and can be pasteurized or non pasteurised. Better to go to the feed store and get powdered milk for calves. It usually has other additives to help the calf get stronger.
Depends on how old the calf is, but milk replacer mixed with water is what you can feed a baby calf. Also allow it access to hay or grass, grain, and water.
Warm, but not hot goat milk from a bottle.
No. Should be either or. Electrolytes if calf has scours, milk replacer if it's healthy.
Goat milk is preferred. They can get alot more nutrients and strength from goat milk. Strength is obviously very important when raising a baby deer, so using goat milk would be your best choice.
The colostrum of cattle is the first milk from a cow to her calf used to not only feed the calf but provide the calf with a start up of the calf's' immune system. It is milk that is comprised of immunoglobins and antibodies which help boost the calf's immune system by feed it antibodies that the cow has generated or received from vaccinations prior to giving birth.
Milk is produced by most species of mammals to feed their young. Cow's milk and goat's milk dates to prehistory.
goat milk, it is easier to digest
