Normal is about 12-24 breaths per minute. Notice the quality of the respirations. https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287561318 2018-10-01 12:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287561318 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287562267 Goats are ruminants, which means that they have four stomach compartments and part of their digestive process includes regurgitating partially digested food and chewing it, called ruminating. This kind of digestive system needs a plant-based diet.]]> 2018-10-01 12:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287562267 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287562489 https://www.dummies.com/wp-content/uploads/246683.image0.jpg]]> 2018-10-01 12:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287562489 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287562840 2018-10-01 12:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287562840 The best way to determine whether a goat is ruminating and the strength and frequency of rumination is to listen. Often, ruminations are loud enough that you can hear them by just sitting next to the goat. If you can’t hear them, put your head up to the left side of your goat’s abdomen. If you still have trouble hearing ruminations, use a stethoscope. You can purchase an inexpensive stethoscope from a livestock supply catalog. https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287563116 2018-10-01 12:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287563116 Healthy ruminations are loud, sound kind of like a growling stomach, and occur about two or three times a minute. If they are weak or infrequent, give your goat some roughage and probiotics (“good” microbes given orally that protect against disease) to stimulate the rumen and to add to the rumen bacteria. https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287563426 2018-10-01 12:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287563426 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287563901 2018-10-01 12:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287563901 Respiration Adult Goats- 10-30 per minuteRespiration Kid Goats 20-40 per minute https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287566741 2018-10-01 12:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287566741 Rectal temperature is in the range 101.5 to 103.5 degrees F.Pulse rate is in the range 70 -80 beats per minute.Respiration Adult Goats- 10-30 per minute.Respiration Kid Goats 20-40 per minute. https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287885638 met]]> 2018-10-01 22:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/24gvxfhw3g59/wish/287885638
