Wormers commonly used on goats
|
Safeguard (only wormer on the market labeled for
goats)
Use 2 or 3 times the suggested dose because the
worms have developed resistance
|
Ivermectin (gets most worms other than tapeworms
and lungworms, kills lice)
|
Valbazen (kills most worms and tapeworms)
|
Tramisol (kill most worms including lungworms,
but not tapeworms)
|
Cydectin (newest class of wormers, and most effective
because of its newness, still doesn’t kill
tapeworms, it is probably best to wait to use this
wormer until all others fail)
|
Other parasites:
|
Coccidia: use medicated feed for kids, treat coccidiosis
with Corid and/or Sulmet (The best option is to
drench affected kids with recommended amount orally
instead of putting it in the water. That way you
know each kid gets enough)
|
Lice: Use commercial lice powder
and/or worm with Ivermectin. |
