[AlpacaTalk] Re: feeding questions/DE

<<<<. You reminded me I should start feeding it now. By
the way, I ran fecals on all my alpacas and the guard llama 3 months AFTER I
stopped feeding the D.E. Although we ARE on drylot, hardly anything
showed up
and I didn't worm them last summer. I believe it does work for worms also.

That's great to hear!

As I have been reading some goat lists lately I am seeing a number of
people rave about how great their goats look once they switched them to
an herbal wormer. They talk about one in particular but can't remember
off hand what it was. They talk about how great their coats like, and
how their color has improved. I am thinking it might work the same for
alpacas. Certainly worth a try. I know several here already do the
herbal wormers. I have been so lax on my worming that I feel like I
want to catch up with the chemical wormers, make sure they are in good
shape to start with and then maintain them on herbals.....I guess except
for the ivermec for m-worm :-(.

Warmly, Janice, going to start this week-end throwing a handful of DE on
the pacas and the horses feed. do you do this at both feedings, or just
once a day?
