Red Cell Dosage for Sheep?

Dosing instructions, per animal:

60 cc each animal over 60 lbs

30 cc each animal under 60 lbs


Ingredients: complete mixture to dose approximately 20 sheep (of varying weight)

1 cup of garlic barrier
(if you do not have Garlic Barrier use crushed garlic which is sometimes available at discount food stores at a lesser price and it won't clog your drench gun- Garlic Barrier from the gallon jug is better). If you use crushed garlic use 1 1/2 cups. Commercial chopped garlic will clog your drench gun if not run through a blender before mixing with other ingredients

1 cup of apple cider vinegar

1 cup of black strap molasses (cane or sorghum molasses may work, but does not contain much iron, do not add commercial iron unless you are expert at dosing small animals)

liquid or capsule pro biotic (1/2 human dose for each animal being dosed, follow directions on package label for human dosing) Empty capsule contents in with other ingredients (discard capsule casing after emptying)

Liquid B-complex (1 human dose for each animal being dosed, follow directions on package label for human dosing)

We have found that our animals do not go off their feed after dosing and are much friskier the following day.

Some people use only the Garlic Barrier to accomplish worming, but our approach (recipe) to treating our sheep is designed to be a little more comprehensive, especially during breeding and lambing season.

If your sheep get bottle jaw, use Cydectin* then follow up w this recipe a few days later (omitting the Garlic Barrier). Vinegar is a natural disinfectant that also has a positive dosing effect on worms.

*There are wormers on the market that will cause spontaneous abortion and should be avoided. Valbasin is one of them.
Many shepherds will use a different worming chemical each time they worm due to worms becoming resistant to these commercial chemicals after repeated dosings.

When administering this recipe, do not lift the sheeps head up to high. Aspiration may occur with any oral dosing. If it does, allow your animal a few minutes to clear their throats and then continue with the dosing. Individual sheep take to dosing easily, some resist. Remaining calm and firm while dosing assists with completing your maintenance worming and care.

One of many benefits to this recipe is that the parasites cannot become resistant to it, it repels flies, it rejuvenates your sheep quickly, and is basically an organic treatment.

Our sheep are grown for consumption and sale and the pleasure of nurturing God's gentle creatures. They are dorper/khatadan cross breeds.

Use this recipe at your own risk. I am not a vet and do not consider myself expert at worming sheep. This recipe is only a regimen that we use. I accept no liability for anyone's voluntary use of this formula.

I have Icelandic sheep, which are not sensitive to copper. I have a ewe that's very skinny and anemic. (She's been wormed recently.) Has a very healthy appetite. I was thinking of trying some red cell. Any thoights/comments?
