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...
