Goats that pass through the transition period smoothly give more milk and produce healthier, stronger kids.
During the transition period, the growing kid(s) has a high nutritional demand, also the increasing size of unborn kid(s) reduces the capacity of the rumen. The ration must be carefully balanced to ensure it provides an adequate supply of energy from concentrates to prevent metabolic problems post-kidding. Correct supply of protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements is also important for performance and health.
