Giving COWP to pregnant does

Posted by Rachel Griebenow on January 24, 2015 at 1:53pm in Health

I've been (slowly) getting better at recognizing when my goats need copper, although it's still difficult for me to tell until I see fading coats. Anyway, a few of my does are starting to look just a bit faded. Should I give them COWP now, or is there any reason they shouldn't get it while pregnant? I just wanted to double check. Two are 3 1/2 months along and one is about a month along.

    To my knowledge, it's safe to give COWP to pregnant goats. I have done it, and not seen any visible ill effects in the kids that were born, or the does.
