[AlpacaTalk] Deworming
<<We deworm everybody when needed/ and on a schedule of 5 times per year
with garlic and molasses.>>
June, Can you tell me more about how you do this? Whole garlic cloves,
mashed? Is the molasses to cover the taste of the garlic? Or part of
your deworming formula? I see that you also put out DE free choice with
minerals, kelp and salt. Are you using the DE for deworming or for fly
control? You say that you worm when needed.....are you doing fecals to
determine this? I have a friend that raises a few dairy goats and I
know she uses some sort of herbal worming mix as she wants no chemicals
in her dairy goats. Are you doing the same for the horses? I just
spent eons of time researching horse deworming and had to write up this
rather complicated schedule of what wormers when and what wormers work
on what parasites and when they should be given. It all seems rather
complicated to me. I dutiful went out early this year and bought all
the various dewormers and then wrote up my schedule...but here it is
late fall and I never got around to more than the very first worming in
the spring, when I also did the alpacas. It is time to do the alpacas
again and I just cannot get myself geared up to catch, halter and shove
that paste down them for FIVE days. Anything would be preferable to
having to do that.
Thanks! Janice
