Goat and Sheep Kidding/Lambing: A Comprehensive Guide to Safe Delivery Goat and sheep farmers must be well-prepared for the kidding and lambing process to ensure a smooth and successful delivery. Understanding the signs of labor, proper birthing positions, and intervention techniques can make a significant difference in reducing mortality rates and ensuring the health of both the mother and offspring. This guide provides essential information on the kidding/lambing process, signs of labor, normal and abnormal birth positions, and best practices for assisting difficult births. Understanding the Kidding/Lambing Process Kidding or lambing occurs 146-156 days after breeding for goats and sheep. It is crucial to prepare a clean and secure birthing environment for the doe or ewe, ideally one week before the expected due date. While pasture kidding is common in Zambia during good weather, individual pens are recommended for better monitoring and biosecurity. Signs of Kidding/Lambing Recognizing early signs of labor can help farmers provide timely assistance when needed. Common indicators include: Restlessness – The doe/ewe may paw at the bedding frequently. Hollow appearance – A noticeable hollow on either side of the tail. Isolation – In a herd, the mother may separate herself from the rest. Affectionate behavior – Increased signs of affection towards the farmer or other animals. Vaginal discharge – A clear or slightly colored discharge is a strong sign that birth is imminent. Normal Birthing Positions A normal birth occurs when the kid or lamb presents with: The nose diving between the front legs. Both hind legs together with the dew claws facing up. The kid/lamb is positioned right side up, face down. Most births progress without complications. However, a small percentage of cases may require assistance, especially for young or first-time mothers. Golden Rules for Handling https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb5QG8sJP20xMjnTVu3z/189
