Typically, a young kitten should consume about 50-80 ml of goat milk powder daily, with each feeding being around 25 ml. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the kitten's age and size.
For kittens around two months old, it's generally recommended to feed them 25-30 grams of goat milk powder per feeding, 3-4 times a day. Pet owners can adjust the amount based on the kitten's individual needs and how well they are absorbing the nutrients. Around this age, you can start introducing weaning food such as soft kitten kibble, ensuring it's soaked in warm water to make it easier for the kitten to digest. This prevents any irritation to their sensitive gastrointestinal tract.
You can enhance the appeal of the kibble by soaking it with goat milk powder, which will help increase the kitten’s appetite. It's important to note that you should always use goat milk powder specifically formulated for pets. Avoid giving human-grade goat milk or fresh cow's or goat's milk directly, as these can cause digestive upset. If your kitten experiences digestive issues like intestinal flora imbalance, it's advisable to give them pet-specific probiotics promptly.
Taking Myosun Goat Milk Powder as an example, here are the feeding instructions and quantities:
For kittens under 2KG: Feed half a sachet each time, 3-4 times a day. For kittens between 2-5KG: Feed one sachet each time, 3 times a day. For kittens over 5KG: Feed two sachets each time, 3 times a day.
Each sachet should be mixed with 100ml of warm water (40-50℃). Allow the mixture to cool to around 35℃ (body temperature range) before feeding to the kitten. Proper kitten nutrition is essential for their healthy development, and using the appropriate amount of goat milk powder is a critical aspect of that. Ensure the kitten is getting the right amount of kitten milk and follow the guidelines on the product packaging for optimum results.
