The prospect of offspring is the main stage in the life of a goat. Care and attention during pregnancy is the basis for healthy offspring and the required amount of milk. But not everyone knows how to determine if a goat will soon have a replenishment. There are many ways to determine the pregnancy of this animal.
Instructions
Step 1
Goat gestation lasts 150 days (± 7 days). Determining pregnancy is not difficult. One of the ways is to take a urine test, which will accurately determine whether there is a pregnancy or not. You can take the analysis at a veterinary clinic. Ultrasound can also be done. Don't be surprised - this is possible even in animals. This method is painless and accurate. The device itself is expensive, but it can be rented. Also, if it is in your veterinary clinic, then a veterinarian can do this procedure.
Step 2
How, at home, and without the use of technology, to determine the pregnancy of a goat? Try to bring the goat to the goat, the pregnant animal will kick back from him and will not let him. The appearance of the udder is also one of the indicators. The goat, with the onset of pregnancy, becomes much calmer.
Step 3
By 2, 5 - 3 months of pregnancy, the belly of the goat increases on the right. Milk yield is halved. During this time, you can feel the fetus. This must be done before feeding the animal, that is, on an empty stomach. It is necessary to gently feel the place in the lower abdomen, under the ribs on the right. You will find a lump - this is a fetus.
Step 4
Some people think that if the milk becomes bitter, then the goat is pregnant - this is a delusion. The taste of milk is an individual characteristic of each animal. Pregnancy does not affect the bitterness of milk. They also say that if a goat that has not given birth before suddenly has milk, then there will definitely be goats. This is also not the case. In goat breeding, there is even such a thing as "girl's milk".
