Pemeliharaan Anak Kambing
(Sumber: Soedjai, Ahmad. 1975. Beternak Kambing. Bandung-Jakarta: N.V. Masa Baru.)
Anak kambing yang baru dilahirkan tidak perlu lekas diberi minum air susu atau didekatkan kepada ambing susu induknya. Pada waktu ia belum mengetahui apa maksudnya dan pulab belum tahu bagaimana seharusnya itu. Biasanya setelah sekitar 24 jam ia sudah merasa cukup hangat badannya, merasa cukup tenaganya, ia mulai mengambuskan moncongnya pada badan induknya dan terus mencari tempat ambing susu induk. Pada waktu itulah ia mulai mengetahui tempat ambing susu induk dan mulailah ia belajar menghisapnya, adakalanya ia pada permulaan mengisap susu harus ditolong oleh orang apalagi jika sianak agak kurang kuat tapi pada kebiasaan hal ini tidak usah. Kalau si anak lebih dari dua ekor, hal pertolongan ini lebih sering dibutuhkan. Biasanya anak yang lebih lemah tidak kebagian waktu dan tempat mengisap oleh yang lebih kuat. Jadi kita harus sering membantu yang lemah itu supaya ia mendapat bagiannya, sampai ia telah mampu sendiri mendapatkan bagiannya itu. Mengigat hal ini adalah paling baik jika induk kambing itu tiap kali hanya melahirkan dua ekor anak saja. Sebab kalau lebihdari itu, 3 atau 4 ekor anak kambing yang ke tiga atau ke empat dan seterusnya biasanya berbadan lemah, kurus sebab pada waktu kecilnya tidak cukup mendapat bagian air susu dari induknya. Jadi dengan kelahiran lebih dari dua ekor itu untungnya hanya bilangan anak saja tapi kualitas anak kambing tidak memuaskan. Pada umur sekitar 4-5 minggu anak kambing sudah mulai menyicip daunan terutama daunan muda, pucuk tanaman dan sebagainya. Sesudah itu kira-kira umur 1 ½ sampai 2 bulan ia susdah mulai makan rumput muda dengan sungguh-sungguh. Dari umur sekian itu kita harus menyediakan khusus untuknya rumput muda tiap hari yang disimpan di tempat terpisah dari tempat makanan induknya. Pada waktu anak kambing telah berumur sekitar empat bulan, ia sudah boleh dilepas dari susu induknya. Dan kepadanya sudah mulai diberikan pemeliharaan seperti pada kambing dewasa yang lain.

Newborn goat kids do not need to drink water quickly be brought closer to the udder milk or milk. At the time he did not know what he meant and pulab not know how it's supposed to. Usually after about 24 minutes he was feeling quite warm body, feeling quite powerless, he began to muzzle mengambuskan the parent entity and continue looking for parent udders. It was then that he began to find out where the parent udders and began to learn to suck it up, sometimes it sucks the milk at the beginning had to be helped by people especially if sianak somewhat less strong but the habit did not need it. If the child is more than two of them, it is more often needed help. Usually children do not miss out weaker time and place by a more powerful sucking. So we must help the weak often so that he got the part, until he was able to gain their share it. Keeping in it is best if the mother goat gave birth to it each time only two pups only. Because if lebihdari it, 3 or 4 tails kid the third or fourth, and so on are usually weak-bodied, skinny little because at the time did not quite get a portion of milk from its mother. So with the birth of more than two-tailed it thankfully only child only numbers but the quality is not satisfactory kid. At the age of about 4-5 weeks have started menyicip kid leaves, especially young leaves, shoots of plants and so on. After that, about the age of 1 ½ to 2 months he started eating the young grass susdah earnest. From that age, we have to provide for him the young grass every day is stored in a separate place from where the food mothers. At the time kid was about four months old, he should be removed from its mother's milk. And already given him the goat maintenance like any other adult.
