Cae

[Altair]

I'd like to communicate with those with goat and CAE experience. These blood tests have been bogus recently.

I don't have any experience with testing, only prevention. As I remember years ago, the tests then were not always reliable, so rather than bother, I'd just err on the side of caution, assume that any new does had it, and heat treat colostrum and pasteurize all milk that was bottle fed to kids.

The tests do seem unreliable. My aunt had supposedly "negative" does and bucks, tested at least twice, and some of the resulting kids tested positive even though she feeds the kids milk replacer once taken from their mothers. Very strange.
