Goats are ruminants, meaning that they have a digestive system that allows them to utilize otherwise undigestible foods by repeatedly regurgitating and rechewing them as "cud." The cud is then reswallowed and further digested by specialized microorganisms that live in the rumen. The goat nipple we offer allows baby kids to get the nutrition that they need when not receiving it from the mother. The gestation period for a goat is four to five months. A newborn kid weighs approximately three to five pounds. Our kid nipple helps maximize your profit from your herd. These nipples are made from a special rubber formula to prolong nipple life and improve pliability. Nipples fits most soda bottles.
