How Much Milk Do Nigerian Dwarf Goats Produce

Dairy goats are one of the most popular breeds around. From Alpine and La Mancha to Nubian, Toggenburg and Nigerian Dwarf goats, there’s a breed guaranteed to fit your specific needs. While all dairy goats produce milk for humans, some produce more than others.

So how much milk does a Nigerian Dwarf goat produce?

How Much Milk Do Nigerian Dwarf Goats Produce?

As you can imagine, the amount of milk a goat produces will depend on how old the goat is. A newborn kid will produce the least amount of milk and an older doe that has produced kids may produce more than younger does. The amount of milk a goat produces also depends on its diet, health and genetics.

For example: if you have a Nigerian Dwarf doe living in your backyard that’s not getting enough nutrition or exercise (which is often the case), she will produce less milk than one who eats well and gets plenty of exercise through regular walks with her owner.

What Are Nigerian Dwarf Goats?

Nigerian Dwarf Goats are miniature dairy goats. They were first bred in the 1960s with the intention of creating a small, dairy goat with a sweet disposition.

Since then, they have become quite popular as pets and show animals alike because of their adorable appearance and pleasant temperaments.

Since Nigerians tend to be smaller than other breeds of dairy goats (and even non-dairy goats) they are often well suited for people who live in urban areas or have limited space at home.

How Long Does a Nigerian Dwarf Goat Produce Milk For?

How long does a Nigerian dwarf goat produce milk for?

Nigerian dwarf goats produce milk for about 2-3 years. The average age of a goat is 3-4 years, so it’s not uncommon for them to be producing until that age. However, their lifespan is 10-15 years, which means you may have to consider getting another one when your first starts drying up around age 5.

The average age of a Nigerian dwarf goat is 2-3 years, and they will stop giving birth by then as well—usually around their third or fourth birthday. If you want your pet to live longer than this (and most people do), there are several things you can do: give her lots of exercise and fresh air; feed her plenty of high-quality hay and grain; keep her away from other animals who might bite her udder off in anger over being denied access to food sources other than grasses (this happens sometimes).

How Much Milk Should I Expect From My NDG?

The amount of milk your NDG will produce depends on several factors, including the goat’s age and genetics. If you are buying a young goat with excellent genetics, you should expect to get between 2 cups to 1 quart of milk per day per goat. As your goats get older and breed more often, their production can decrease slightly.

If you are keeping your NDGs in an environment where they are healthy and have access to good food sources (like grass), then they should produce enough milk for their kids. However, if you have a sick animal or one whose diet is inadequate; then it may not be able to produce much at all—or it may die from malnutrition!
