Why Kidimilk is the best choice for Black Bengal Goat kids in West Bengal

In West Bengal, goat farming is more than just business — it’s tradition. The Black Bengal Goat is famous for its meat quality, high fertility, and adaptability to Bengal’s climate. But one challenge every farmer faces is raising healthy, fast-growing kids — especially in the first 3 months of life

1. Delaying the first feed
Mistake: Waiting too long to feed newborn kids after birth.
Why it’s bad: The first milk (colostrum) within 1–2 hours is full of antibodies that protect the kid from diseases.
Solution: Make sure the kid gets colostrum immediately. If the mother is weak or unable to feed, prepare a warm Kidimilk solution and feed right away.
2. Feeding cold or contaminated milk
Mistake: Giving milk that is too cold or not hygienic.
Why it’s bad: Cold milk can cause digestive problems, and dirty feeding bottles spread disease.
Solution: Always serve milk warm (around 38°C) and clean feeding equipment after every use.
3. Overfeeding or underfeeding
Mistake: Feeding too much or too little.
Why it’s bad: Overfeeding causes diarrhoea, and underfeeding slows growth.
Solution: Follow proper guidelines:
• First week: 4–5 feeds/day, 50–100 ml per feed.
• Gradually increase quantity as the kid grows.
• Use Kidimilk’s easy mixing ratio: 100g per litre warm water.
4. Ignoring mother’s milk shortage
Mistake: Not supplementing when the mother doesn’t have enough milk.
Why it’s bad: Weak, underfed kids have low survival rates.
Solution: Use Kidimilk as a supplement so every kid gets full nutrition, even in twin/triplet births.
5. Abrupt weaning
Mistake: Stopping milk suddenly before the kid is ready.
Why it’s bad: Kids become stressed, lose weight, and fall sick.

Farmer Tip from West Bengal:
“I used to lose many goat kids due to diarrhoea and weakness. Now I follow a fixed Kidimilk feeding schedule, and my kids grow fast and stay healthy.” — Anwar Ali, Bardhaman
