One family line of my goats test positive CAE and one bottle baby that was fed the milk too. Hoping good nutrition and gut health can give them a better life.

There are different kinds of CAE... some are not as bad as others.

If you do not want to cull the CAE positives, I would suggest you are careful to keep a closed herd... make sure you don't spread it.

Good nutrition will of course help. I would also spend more time/money on great loose minerals. Give them some kelp meal from time to time.

Be careful about their minerals in general... so if you are in an area with low selenium or copper... keep up with those supplements.

Also, check them regularly for worms, as they will have a harder time with a worm load.

I wonder if regular dosing with probiotics and vitamin B would also help.
