A lactation or milking doe refers to a female goat that is currently producing milk, typically after giving birth. These does are often raised for their milk, which can be consumed directly or used to make dairy products like cheese and yogurt. The lactation period usually lasts several months, depending on the breed and management practices. Proper care, nutrition, and milking techniques are essential for maintaining a healthy and productive milking doe.
