Does anyone here have any experience with any of the herbal wormer products out there? If so, what did you use, and did you like it/think it was effective?
We are trying to keep our farm as organic and chemical-free as we can. We believe in not medicating our animals unless they need it. I am seeing a lot of herbal wormers out there that claim you can use them without having to toss out the milk like you would with a regular chemical one. That seems pretty attractive, especially since looking at the ingredient list on some, it could be possible to grow all the ingredients myself and further add to our self-sufficiency and minimize our reliance on big drug companies to cure us and our animals when they have no real interest in doing that at all. (We absolutely do treat our animals with a medication if they are sick and really need treatment, don't worry!) But, I know with herbal stuff there is often little regulation and little research/scientific evaluation, and there's a lot of quacks out there selling useless stuff.
I'm just curious if anyone is using any of these herbal wormers, and are they really working?
Please be nice and not start a fight, I know it's a controversial subject. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
