i have had 5 does have singles wy

Check the pmsg dosage of others or last year to see if it was the same. It should have been if it was the same vet.

How much folligon did you give them when you removed the cedars ?

Word has it that does can become resistant to the pmsg,sometimes even after only one time of being A/I d. I know some who up the does a tenth of a cc each year. I understand your frustration but I'll take one healthy fawn over multiple small births that usally spell trouble. Best of Luck

We would rather have one healthly fawn over multiple small births also but just thought it was weird that they all had healthly twins last year, we even had a set of twins that weighed over 9lbs each at birth. now this year is just singles.

What to Feed if my Goats Require Flushing?

A flushing program may be as simple as placing does on a lush nutritious pasture 3 to 4

weeks prior to breeding. However, many do not find themselves in this situation. In this

case supplements are in order. Supplements high in energy and protein are best for

increasing body condition and thus reproductive performance in thin and good does.

Nutritional supplements come in all shapes and sizes and range from commercially

produced pellets or textured feeds, tubs, and blocks to natural feedstuffs known to be

relatively high in protein or energy such as soybean meal or corn. Choosing which type is

best for your operation will vary according to individual circumstances. In many cases a

variety of supplement products will best meet your goats’ needs.

Sweetlix offers a variety of protein supplement products to allow the greatest amount of

flexibility for goat producers. Here are a few of the Sweetlix supplements available

Summary

In summary, the practice of flushing can be of great economic benefit for thin does

resulting in larger kid crops and increased reproductive efficiency. However,

determination of thinness can be subjective. A standardized Body Condition Scoring

system allows accurate determination of fleshiness. Does with a body condition score of

1 through 3 should benefit from a flushing program while extra supplementation of does

with body condition scores of 4 or 5 is not recommended. Many supplement options are

available for a flushing program including the new Sweetlix Meat Maker Roughage

Balancer Tub. Also, remember to watch the goats’ body condition as the winter

progresses. Low quality hay and increased nutritional demands of pregnancy can result in

a loss of body condition. In these situations, nutritional supplements are necessary to

maintain reproductive and growth performance. Feed supplements pay for themselves in

added production when used properly. For more information about the Sweetlix line of

supplement products for goats and information to help you create a customized

thanks this is very helpful

Last year I had two doe's L.A.I. ed split one straw and only had one single fawn from two doe's. This year I did ******l A.I. myself on the same two doe's one had twin's 2 day's ago and the other look's like she will have fawn's tonight. I think there were a lot of single's last year.

im having a lot this year

Did anyone check the quality of the semen - just to be sure? You said GLS stored it but it they didn't collect it they won't vouch for the quality - just a thought. We've had some of our own semen drawn that wasn't so good and was labeled for farm use only. We did use some of that ourselves but have decided it really isn't worth the trouble.
