Goat worming question

[EvaJoy]

The Durafend Safe Guard wormer I have says 2.5 mg per kg of body weight...

my goat weighs approx 100 lbs....


I need to know how much wormer in ounces to use.... HELP

 

[hilarie]

100 # = 45.5 kg
2.5 mg X 45.5 kg = 114 mg

Get as close as you can to 114 mg. A few more or less isn't critical.

 

[EvaJoy]

114 mg of worming pellets

How much is that in ounces?>

 

[EvaJoy]

.004 ounces.... that is only a couple pellets I dont understand.

I see where it says you give a 1000 lb horse 1 lb..... of wormer pellets

so that means that I would give 100 goat how much?

Safe Guard wormer should have better directions

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Horses and goats have/need different ratios of dewormer.

Can you get Safe Guard liquid drench for goats? We get a 125ML bottle for $16, you only need 1.3ML per 100lbs of the goat dewormer.

What are you treating for? Tapes?

 

[elevan]

Pelleted de-wormers really don't work well for goats.

I would suggest getting Safe Guard liquid drench. It is best used for tape worms. If you're treating for a different type of worm then I would suggest a different de-wormer.

I use tobacco as a wormer.

 

[happy acres]

How do you use tobacco? What kind of tobacco? Chewing? Smoking? Pipe?
