Selenium Deficiency In Goats!

We had a huge baby Spanish goat born on the farm with a leg issue. He was cramped inside his mother, therefor the tendons in his legs were not stretched out all the way. We gave him 2ml of selenium gel to help in case it was white muscle disease. After watching the baby for a few days he finally comes through and can walk on his hooves again.

Thanks for the update Kelvin. If you ever get down in the dumps, watching those baby goats will perk you up, they are something else 😃Maybe when you take Dutch his turkey he’ll give you a couple more quail, which would affirm what a great guy he is, hehe. Take care y’all. 👍👍👍👍

@feliccasampson5376 5 лет назад

They're so cute 😍 and full of energy. Am glad you and Rachel caught the problem still having a little problem walking. Congratulations to all the Mama , babies 🐐. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day

@inglis7086 5 лет назад

what is called knuckling over - I would have a word with the vet about any other minerals he might need - they use paint rollers cut in half longways - you can get three splints out of each roll

@blackheartxcvii 5 лет назад

Great video Kev! I'm glad the buckling is doing better, I would definitely keep an eye on those legs and splint if he doesn't shape up soon, glad to see the Turkey & quail doing good too :) Hope everything goes well with the coming rain! Much love to the homestead❤🐐🦃🐔🐥

Awww. They are so cute! Congrats to you and Rachael. Thanks for sharing.

@audreyabdo7719 5 лет назад

Did mom reject him? Keep giving him the selenium as he does have some problems. I’d also check with a vet, but if mom has not rejected him, that’s good as her milk will strengthen his bones tendons and Muscles and cartilages. If the mom had twins, she might have rejected him as she would’ve concentrated on the healthy one. Hi Rachel. She is so sweet and I feel so good about you two. God bless you. You don’t want no inbreeding with any of your goats, so if you plan to keep your bucks, you should wether them so they will be good companion goats instead of breeders. Love to your family and take care.

@mariesplace9547 5 лет назад

Yes, love to watch the babies.. and Skeeter🤗

@stellajeffrey647 5 лет назад

Good afternoon everyone. Good vlog as usual. Those baby goats are cute as can be. I love the way they are jumping around, so full of life. 😊💞

@larrymixer144 5 лет назад

Hey Kevin, It was great that you were able to take care of that lamb. The lamb was fortunate to have been born to someone who knew what to do to cure the problem. Well I'll catch later and wish you and yours a healthy happy and prosperous life. Larry

@BelindaTN 5 лет назад

along time ago, we had a goat born like this. I called the vet and he said it was a vitamin deficiency. It was one of the B vitamins (cant remember which one). The vet gave me a shot to give it and told me to give it's momma some alfalfa hay to eat. He said once they start nursing and can get the nutrients from the momma, the legs straighten out. It has something to do with the tendons. And the legs did straighten out in a day or two of me giving the shot.

@crowgirl1326 5 лет назад

Oh my heart broke for the baby that walks on his knuckles but he is in capable hands. I'll keep the faith. What a difference between him and the other baby goats and their playfulness. I could watch those babies jump around all day long. It's actually relaxing. Do the black snakes get the larger chickens and turkeys that free range?

@annettespierceshomesteadof6229 5 лет назад

Baby Spanish goats are doing awesome, Skeeter is a funny little guy to watch, all the other animals are doing awesome as well, by the way how is your garden doing? Have a wonderful day, God Bless

@jerriewyatt905 5 лет назад

The babies are so cute! So playful .. I hope the little guy with the leg problem does all right ..

@hollyhill4034 5 лет назад

We've had a lamb once in awhile with the same issue. We cut a toilet paper roll (cardboard part), put it down to knuckle and put vetwrap around it but make sure it's stiff enough but not too tight. Also give him some nutridrench. It gets in the system quickly and we only have the splint on 1-2 days and they're fine but always check with your vet. We even had a calf that either was born with the cow standing and had a weak joint from landing wrong or accidentally got stepped on. It worked on the calf also. Pray for wisdom always, sending wishes for a great kidding time and good health.

@jeanettewaverly2590 5 лет назад

This is a timely video for me. I'm new to goats. I have a young kiko/boer doe due to kid in early August with her first pregnancy. She's already the size of a house (and the sire is a pygmy), and I've heard that some locales around here are deficient in selenium. I'll be sure to have one of those tubes on hand.

@evieuretsky9997 5 лет назад

Splint the little baby's leg, I had a kitten that was born with front legs turned inwards and she walked on her wrists, I splinted her for a few months, in between massaged the tendons to help it to stretch.

@cherylwilliams81 5 лет назад

You can give a shot of Bose about 1/2 cc. I have had problems like this before and you would be amazed at how fast it can get them going.

@TCBFarm 5 лет назад

I should add you can only get it from a veterinarian however. But I used to keep it on hand for my younger smaller does.

@TUSSCANNY 5 лет назад

How fun. All farm baby animals are just fun to watch. Good for our mental health. Relaxing 😎. For me it's watching horses grazing in the pasture while the babies play. Have a nice day and thanks for sharing. So glad I found your channel through your friend. Old old old Granny

@TashaStJames 3 года назад

My lil guy was born with white muscle disease and the vet gave him. Shot of the silmenela vitamin e or however it's spelled the first day he come home he was standing and taking baby steps two days later i can't get him to stand at all and I'm still working with him. I think I'm going to try the to rolls or popcicle sticks. Praying that works he's very ambitious and wants to walk so bad. I have him in the house to care for him myself so I really appreciate you uploading this!! Thank you for what you guys do! 🙌🏼 Just subscribed

Hi keven just watching your wife patting a black goat on the cable drum and noticed the centre holes are open i wondered if you had thought of a goat getting a leg stuck down one of the holes and getting a broken leg I would be inclined to put a piece of tin over them, just a thought love your channel keep up the great work, Paul

#Kevin I watched Dutch get 3 pigs from you today. Which is probably a couple days ago. I have been subbed to you for a while now but I didn’t have my notifications set up correctly. I want to tell you that’s some of the shiniest coats on goats I have ever seen! 😊🌟😊

@kayashmore4296 4 года назад

I would splint it for a few days so he doesn't fall behind in keeping up with Mom and nursing etc. Dont want him losing out on the fun stuff with the other kids. Then when you take it off he will be like new. Be sure to pad it with medical wrap so don't get rub sores. God bless.

@RobertJones-ey9qz 5 лет назад

You need to have Dutch bring you some more quail eggs when he comes to get the Turkey. I think splinting the little boy would be good. No sense taking the chance of him just learning to walk that way. Your buck made some gorgeous kids. If you only get 3 or 4 does, I'd consider using him again and just not breed those 3 or 4 till next time. That would give you more time to find another really good buck for all of them. You seem to be interested in quality, not just quantity and a really good buck may be harder to find. Not sure, I've never looked for that breed myself. If I ever get into goats again, I might, I like the looks of them. Take care and have a good day. Love seeing the animals.

@nannybluebelle8643 5 лет назад

I noticed this when he was born and did wonder if something was up .... glad he got you looking after him and maybe a splint would definitely help for a day or two if necessary till he a little stronger but am sure you know best and his mom is a good one luckily. Best wishes from UK

Hi Kevin and your beautiful wife, I am from Dutch's channel...I hope you still gave that baby goat the Selenium Vitamin E supplement. She still needs it.😍👍 Love how your wife snuggles the little kid goats.😘🥰❤ You guys have a beautiful farm with beautiful animals. Thank you for your wonderful educational vlog regarding your goats!😊 LOL! Daisy reminds me of Gabby.😍

@HiddenHeightsFarm 5 лет назад

Hey thanks for checking us out. Yes the baby did get a dose of selenium and vitamin E.

@tanyajenkins919 5 лет назад

Maybe u can breed tiny with a black Spanish buck and let her run with her Goat friend if that herd is kinder to her. Is that a possibility?

@lindanichols7893 5 лет назад

Quail don’t do well on mesh wire! They need to dust themselves much like pheasants. They should be on a dirt floor. Also how did that snake even get in there?

@oslh15 Год назад

No detail about how to apply selenium & vitamin e gel? Massage it on the legs?

@hollyhill4034 5 лет назад

You'll want to splint it even if he's walking better until he doesn't do it anymore at all.

@moonchild1015 5 лет назад

Daniel at Arms Family Homestead is looking for a kiko buck. Do you know if you live in an area that is selenium difficient area? I watch Weed Em and Weep from AZ. She had a baby born in Jan with the same problem and it was selenium dificient. She treated her with selenium and she got better. Her mama rejected her unfortunately so they nursed her on one of the other mama's. You're lucky his mom didn't. Although bottle babies are so friendly 😃. Love the Spanish goats they are beautiful.

@HiddenHeightsFarm 5 лет назад

Next time that happens duct tape toilet paper tubes at the bend of the affected ankle it is loose tendons and is usually either a easy to fix genetic disorder or a birth defect and most likely you will see it from the same mom

The males are still edible ain't they? What do you call baby goat meat?

@lesadietrich4784 5 лет назад

Goat meat can be called mutton, just like sheep; otherwise it is simply referred to as goat. The fact that we English speakers refer to the meat of an animal by a different word than the animal name goes back a few hundred years and can be credited to English royalty. French chefs were brought to court and the dishes they prepared were referred to by their French names. Thus cow meat became beef (fr. boeuf), pig/hog became pork (fr. porc), sheep became mutton (fr. mouton). I believe the real reason we don't eat a lot of goat here in the US is that goats were, for centuries, the family milk producer (hence "nanny" for a female). I think we all know how attached we Americans are to our pets. That's why we don't eat dog, cat, horse, even squirrel, or pigeon. Anyway, enough rambling.

@unitedwestand5100 5 лет назад

@@lesadietrich4784 ,. Wrong! Mutton is Sheep Meat, Lamb is baby sheep meat. Goat meat from adults is often called chevon and cabrito, capretto, or kid when it is from young animals. ...
