Instructions
De-worming
De-worm new goats before allowing them to joining your existing herd of goats. New goats can introduce new parasites and worms to your herd.
Quarantine newly wormed goats in a dry/dirt pen for a few days before turning them out into a grazing pasture. This allows the eggs that are not killed by the de-wormer to be passed in the dry area.
Use different de-worming products each time you de-worm your goats. Parasites in goats can become immune to de-worming products.
Rotate your goat herd often to different grazing pastures. Goats can graze in the same pastures used by horses and cattle.
Keep your goat herds down to a managable number. Too many goats grazing in one pasture will quickly cause the pasture to become infested with parasites.
