The Milk Recording program helps goat breeders track and improve herd performance with reliable data on milk yield, butterfat, and protein. Offered by the Canadian Goat Society, it includes two options: a one-day test and a full 305-day program. These tests provide insights into individual production and help evaluate breeding decisions. Data is collected on-farm using standardized methods and sent to certified laboratories, such as Lactanet or Horizon. Accurate records support herd improvement and can qualify does for official production certificates.
