About this deal

Yes! This goat produces milk that is significantly lower in butterfat than the dairy goats that typically produce. Though Kiko goats are primarily meant for meat, they can offer milk for the five months after they give birth to their babies. Since this goat likes to roam, good fencing is required. These animals have the ability to stand up on their hind feet, giving them up to six feet of height to allow them to clear relatively low fencing. Since the Kiko goat isn’t particularly capable of protecting itself from potential predators, this fencing needs to be enough to keep any animals out. If the owner wants to make sure that the goat has enough to feed on, they’ll also indulge in high-quality hay, silage, food pellets, and legume grasses. They work with whatever they have, though they will leave their habitat if they run out of vegetation after a while. They become extremely restless without enough food around them. With the naturally regulated coat of the Kiko goat, their habitat won’t even need to include much for shelter. They can thrive in damp or dry environments. Kiko Goat Diet The diet of a Kiko goat is rather easy to maintain, especially since they don’t really require supplemental feeding or specialized foods. They need a habitat with plenty of vegetation, which is what they will predominantly graze on.

Directing the breed where it needs to go is rather simple, and they are easy to train, even as a herd. However, very few people keep them as pets. More often, they are kept for their milk or to harvest for meat. The population of the Kiko goat is primarily determined by the demand for it. While there is no known number of Kiko goats, the total number of goats worldwide is 450 million, and the Kiko goat is not currently at risk of extinction.View all 77 animals that start with K The scientific name of the Kiko goat is Capra aegagrus hircus, and it doesn’t go by any other common name (other than “Kiko goat”). It comes from the Bovidae family in the Mammal class. There are currently no subspecies. With the inherited genetics of feral goats, the Kiko goat primarily fends for itself, requiring very little of the humans that care for them. However, if they don’t have enough vegetation in the area, they will leave their habitat to find it. Though the crossbreed has the same genetics as feral goats, it is quite friendly and docile. It requires only sufficient food to stay within its habitat.A Kiko goat is a breed that comes from New Zealand, used as a source of meat and milk by breeders. They have incredibly high fertility and are rather friendly. They require very little maintenance to maintain habitat. Some of these goats reach sexual maturity by 4 months of age, but it is not recommended to breed them this early. Most breeders wait until the kid is 8 months old and has at least 80 pounds of weight on them to ensure healthy young. Kiko Goat Population Even after five months of pregnancy, the birth doesn’t need to be assisted either. The majority of pregnancies result in twins or triplets, but it isn’t uncommon for a doe to only birth one kid per pregnancy. Annually, they typically give birth to two or more kids, and they will nurse on the mother’s milk until they are two to three months old. The mothers require very little assistance, which is why breeders profit so much from the sale of Kiko goats. The name of the goat – “Kiko” – means “meat” in Maori, which is what the species is primarily bred to be.

The breed isn’t particularly good at defending itself, so any critters with claws or teeth that manage to break into their habitat may go after them. This goat will choose to stand their ground, but they don’t have any natural defenses to speak of. Building a habitat is the best way to defend them from predators, though there is no real threat to the population. Typically, a female Kiko goat has a weight of about 125 lbs., while a male Kiko goat can reach up to 200 lbs. The breed itself doesn’t require much maintenance, making it incredibly helpful to farmers who take care of them. When constructing a habitat at home, the primary concern is having enough room. They need a place to forage, though their location isn’t quite as particular. They just need enough ground to cover to continually eat the grass and other natural plant life.
