Healthy soil and sustainable growing

I actually saw that article as well, and today, recieved my forst order of the wormer-- from Hoegger's goat supply.  i first heard of this wormer at a goat health seminar that was well attended by Amishmers who indicated they have had much success with it.  Since the farm group we belong to now yas a market for organixcally or naturally raised animals, i thought I would give it a try.  My ram will get his first does tonight, after a do a fecal to provide a baseline count.  My ram is a Barbados Blackbelly, which are supposed to be naturally parasite resistant in the first place. So I need to do a fecal anyway, to see what this weather has been doing to his gut...

 

 Also, in this area, many parasites of all the "farm" animals, as well as  pets, are developing a resistance to the 'conventional' wormers. To make matters worse, lungworm is now here, brought in by the whitetail deer population, and it is surviving the cold!!!

 

 I also now have on hand, some DE, which  worked very well on my dogs last month against tapeworms!!!

I did see a response from this initial question
stating that the ivermectin was more effective than
the herbal wormers and I wanted to inform the audience
that I have read research stating the opposite.

FYI:  There was an article posted in the United
Caprine News regarding a study that a goat breeder
performed comparing the effectiveness of ivermectin
vs. an herbal formula.  I do not recall the name of
the herbal formula but I do specifically remember that
the herbal formula performed much better in this well
organized trial than the ivermectin.

As a goat breeder myself who has used ivermectin for
years - with good success.  I am very tempted to make
the switch myself.
