I sadly lost 6 goats to worms because I thought Safeguard was good enough. Learn from me- it's worth using the stronger dewormers to keep your goats alive. :(
Thank you for the information, if you think you have barber pole would noromectin be advisable. I was told to give it by mouth to be more effective. but wonder if that is safe
Thanks for the informative video. Question for you: I am raising a bottle lamb for the summer, butchering at 6 months. The lamb is healthy and has no worms at about 2 months of age. Should I give dewormer at some point over the next 4 months as a preventative measure? Or just wait to see if the lamb develops worms at all?
How do you keep part of your herd 'untreated' and keep them alive? Do you mean treat them with other dewormers on your rotation schedule? Or cycle them differently, like do part first then wait say, 14 days and so the rest? Or to actually leave them totally untreated all the time?
I personally go by symptoms, body condition, famacha score and fecal egg count. If they aren't sick, aren't anemic and/or don't have undesirable body condition then they don't get drenched.
I'll have to sit down and organize my understanding here. These drugs have so many names it's hard to know which is which. I live in the Dominican Republic and here I've been using Fenbendazole but just bought a new one with Albendazol and Levamisol. For all I know they are all the same thing. Any comments on drenching with a copper sulfate solution?
The guy I bought my sheep from which were less than 10lbs told me to give 2.5 cc of valbazine for a period of 3 days. I lost every lamb i treated in about 5 days. I had on ram showing signs of parasites and he told me treat all of them this way. I'm very disappointed I didn't watch this first
Also, they showed about 3-4 out of 5 signs of overdose. For new beginners, don't panic when you find a sick lamb and only treat those who have signs of sickness.
I would think that feed would cause serious resistance. unless you have a very large herd I would only worm the goats that need it, don’t just worm all goats on a schedule. That practice is one of the reasons these wormers are becoming less effective and in some cases not working at all.
Definitely the most informative video I’ve seen so far !

Do you retreat with prohibit

Where can I buy the feed?
I would think that feed would cause serious resistance. unless you have a very large herd I would only worm the goats that need it, don’t just worm all goats on a schedule. That practice is one of the reasons these wormers are becoming less effective and in some cases not working at all.
