Maximize growth potential during weaning

In kids development, the weaning process is a critical phase that sets the foundation for a goat's lifelong health and productivity. Recognizing the importance of this stage, we have developed a comprehensive strategy that not only ensures the well-being of your kids but also maximizes their growth potential. 

Our weaning strategy is designed to encourage early development and ensure a smooth transition from milk to solid intakes. By introducing high-quality feed at the right time and managing water intake cleverly, can give them different benefits for their wellbeing and maximizing their growth potential. By this method you're introducing the kids to pellets at an early stage of life. Alongside pellets we suggest to feed forage such as chopped straw. This helps them get the best start in life. 

Monitoring the pellet intake
Monitoring pellet intake consistently throughout the milk period is crucial. At Vitalvé, we are continually developing innovative tools and protocols designed to help you track growth and health indicators accurately, ensuring each goat achieves its developmental milestones with precision.
