Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["J Bailey" <jbmail@isomedia.com>]

Does anyone have any info or experience regarding using manure from animals 
on chemical wormers? I read that ivermectin can stay in manure a long time & 
am concerned this will cause problems in my compost or with free-ranging my 
chickens after the cow & goats. I'd like to get into herbal wormers, but the 
info on them is a bit confusing. I'll have to work on making sure my 
pastures are the best they can be, plus my critters' nutrition, then maybe 
switch to an herbal formula part of the year...
