Re: [AlpacaTalk] herbal wormers
The herbal wormer "discussions" have been going on--pro and con--in the ruminant world for decades. If you're going to use it, do fecal testing so you know if it works. If you don't test, you can claim anything but it doesn't mean much without the tests.

Here are the herbal wormer posts I was referring to. They don't give a
website and I haven't had time yet to search for it. If you find, will
you post to the list?
Thanks, Janice

> I have been using the Herbal Womer/Toner for a while, 1 1/2 teaspoons
once a week (kids get 1/2 t. starting at 2 mo. or when I give them
cocidiosis med.)mixed with small amount of molasses made into balls, and
my stock have been doing great on it. I bought it from Hoegger Supply. I
love it, takes the worry out of when to worm or what to worm with, and
it lasts forever. Well worth the money.

I do something similar, but I use Molly's blend. I don't do the dosage
balls, just never taken the time to make them. I either feed it in their
grain once a week, or drench them with a slurry of the herbs and water.
Works great. One whether loves his so much, he'll suck the slurry right
out of the syringe. Don't have to hold him or anything. Well, okay, have
to hold him BACK while I blend it up, he's too antsy to get it in!
My goats have taken up the glossiest, softest coats, brightest color,
hard hooves, sweetest milk since while on this program. ALL of the goat
I have now came to me in very poor condition, and have just bloomed
after being dewormed with this stuff, and put on a regular program with
it.>>>>

I beg to differ. I did have one goat come in here with lung worm a few
years back. Fecal count showed positive. I never dewormed him with
anything else but my herbs. Cleared him up, and the others never had a
problem.>>>>
