Key Technical Points for Feeding and Management of Lactating Does
Management of Lactating Does
Ensure adequate drinking water every day to meet the moisture needs of lactating does. In addition, maintain environmental hygiene by cleaning the cage floor boards daily, washing the feed bowls before each feeding, and disinfecting regularly. Keep the kindling box dry; if a doe defecates or urinates inside the kindling box, the bedding straw must be replaced immediately. Also frequently check whether the doe's teats and mammary glands are normal. If hard lumps are found in the mammary glands, or redness, swelling, or wounds are found on the teats, treat them promptly.
