What do we call the process of separating the doe from the young so that the young can no longer nurse?

  1. Separation

  2. Decanting

  3. Weaning

  4. Fostering

The correct answer is: Weaning

Weaning refers to the process of slowly transitioning a young animal to a diet other than their mother's milk. This is done by gradually reducing the amount of milk they consume and introducing solid foods. Separation, while also a step in the weaning process, refers to physically separating the young from their mother. Decanting and fostering are not relevant to the process of separating a young animal from nursing. Decanting is the process of pouring off a liquid from sediment, and fostering is the practice of placing an animal in the care of a foster parent. Therefore, the most accurate answer is C.
