absorption and adequate sources for this and other minerals. In mammals, calcium is an essential mineral for normal physiological functioning. It is essential for the formation of bone,
the function of the muscles, blood clotting and the transmission of nerve impulses (Horst, Goff & Reinhardt, 1997). Lack of calcium, or low calcium concentrations in the blood can
result in poor functioning and the onset of specific diseases (Horst, Goff & Reinhardt, 1997). The transfer of calcium from the body of a lactating goat to the milk
can create imbalances, resulting in a lack of calcium homeostasis. In lactating milking goats, inadequate calcium intake can result in the onset of metabolic conditions, including perimparturient paresis, also
called milk fever, which occurs when the lactational process results in a drain of calcium that negatively impacts the animal (Horst, Goff & Reinhardt, 1997). If left untreated, drains
in the plasma calcium required for the function of many organs can result in the death of the animal. The problem
with determining effective calcium absorption and dietary requirements for goats is that while intestinal absorption of calcium in young goats is an effective method of nutrition, only about 30 percent
of the calcium taken in through foraging is absorbed in adult goats (Smith & Sherman, 2009). Research suggests that while adult goats may need only 3.5 to 6 grams
of calcium in their diet each day to maintain healthy function, gestating and lactating goats may require an additional 6 grams of total dietary calcium each day, approximately 1 gram
of which must be provided in the form of absorbable calcium ((Smith & Sherman, 2009). The following is the breakdown of
