Doing a fecal will tell you what worms you are dealing with and will help you choose the right
wormer.Checking the inner bottom eyelids of your goats will also help you know if you are
dealing with worms. The bottom inner eyelid should be bright pink to red in color, anything less
than this indicates worms.
Rotating your wormer between 2-3 different products can help you keep a good control on the worms and to not build up a resistance. For example you can use Ivomec during the breeding season because it won't injure fetus and Valbazen right after delivery because this is a time of severe stress.
It's a good idea to give a dose of Probios(R) on the day following oral worming to help restore rumen flora.
Repeating the worming dosage at 3 weeks will help kill larvae/eggs.
The minerals you feed your goats play a HUGE role on parasites. Each mineral interacts with each other to assure proper absorption. Loose minerals made specifically for goats are the best.
This list includes many wormer's that ARE NOT labeled for goats, meaning we use them OFF LABEL. You use them at your own risk. We are not veterinarians, so please consult a veterinarian before using any of the above wormer's. Goatwisdom and its members will not be held liable for any health issues you encounter when using the above wormer's. More specifically, we do not recommend the oral use of injectable ivermectin without consulting with your vet.
