Evaporated Milk VS. Goats Milk

[sweetsophia]

I went to get the ingredients for whelping pudding and the goats milk, karo syrup, and egg yolk, water mixture that Mardelin had posted for others. I was checking the nutritional labels for evaporated milk and goats milk and they are exactly the same. The only difference was one is $.79 and the other is $3.79. What is the difference and could I just use evaporated milk instead of goats milk? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We are having 2 litters due Aug 4th and we found out today between our girls we could have anywhere from 10-12 puppies so I thought it would be a good idea to keep the ingredients handy.

I've always used the Goats Milk.....but, only do it the first 24 hours. It's a recipe that was handed down to me by my mentor......I've never tried it with the evaporated milk. However, I do use the evaported milk for the whelping pudding that I feed mother throughout the time she's nursing. It's worked for me, so I haven't questioned it. And only use it initially just to give mother strength and help with milk production.

I was reading a book called the On the Road to Westminster or something like that and the breeder said she fed her newborns evaporated milk which surprised me. I forgot that until you just mentioned it.

Breeders say goats milk is easier to digest, with fewer bowel upsets. I have used both and mine gets loose stools with both..but not too bad.

Mardelin,
if we only use the first 24 hrs. Then what do we give them while nursing?

Wonder why they didn't do a spell check before posting.
