Management practices dictate whether kids are treated for Coccidia during weaning or two to three weeks later. Weaned Kids Kids must be examined for intestinal parasites one month after weaning. Buck kids and doe kids must be separated by three months of age. Polled kids should be rechecked for any genital abnormalities. Feet must be trimmed before kids are turned out.
Kids are susceptible to polioencephalomalacia, which is caused by thiamine deficiency.
Deficiency of this vitamin should be a primary diagnostic differential for any kid with neurologic signs, such as blindness or opisthotonos. Bucks Bucks are given vaccines and parasite treatments at the same time as other animals in the herd. Bucks must be given plenty of exercise. Feet must be trimmed at least four times yearly. Before the breeding season, bucks must have adequate body condition and should be examined for genital abnormalities.
