- Three good management practices for controlling worms in your goats and sheep longterm are: 1) Selectively culling, 2) Selectively deworming, and 3) Rotational grazing. This is part two of a three part series dealing with controlling internal parasites in goats and sheep. Tips on how often you should deworm and how to break the worm’s lifecycle.

One of the best "How to control worms" videos on TH-cam
Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.
I had a sheep herd that ate the charcoal on limbs of a burn pile. Best wormer ever.
Interesting!
this is literally the best video explaining drench resistance and strategies ive seen! you've got a new subscriber
Awesome, thank you!
Great video, very informative.
That's so informative, thank you very much
I am a lifetime follower of your after this video brother. Your lesson about not preemptively de worming your heard fits in nicely with my understanding of antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria in humans. The over prescription of anti biotics has caused and will cause more "superbugs", disease resistant strains of pathogenic microbes. You a killing it 👏
I agree!
Thank you.
🤝.
Well explained. I have been looking at the worms site.
Kudos to you from north shores of Lake Michigan
Love your pace and wisdom
Your s good shepherd
I'm enjoying your series, keep it up
Thank you.
Ty so much for all the information
You are so welcome!
Really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
These are great videos, thanks so much!!
Thanks
I am applying your skills far away here im Uganda (Africa) and it’s amazing the results are great.
Thanks for watching. Glad the channel is helpful.
Nice video share website

Infomative
Thanks
Great video, Thank you. I had heard or read it was a 6 week cycle of the worms in a field? I have also heard there are different worm loads between goats and sheep which I found to be slightly incredulous. Thanks again
In my experience sheep handle worms better than goats.
Hi. Thanks for these great tips. In your video, you mentioned a plant that I can't spell well. All I heard was sorilos. Can you please help me out with that plant name?? Kindly
A better way to do working is to run a fecal and find out which specific work is affecting the animal and use a wormer affective to that specific worm
Are there any sprays that won't kill the worms on the ground in their feces??
How do you not have more followers! You need a tiktok my guy…
Lol. Thanks. I’m doing good to do Facebook and TH-cam. I’m not great at managing social media forums.
@@rollingofarm You are INCREDIBLE i spend hours and hours watching you and learning i cant wait to build yardschute and flip table as i manage 42 sheep alone and that would be so good for me.....cheers from gippsland Australia
What about if they have sure on their mouth?
U have a nice set up & not super far from me just wondering do u sale most of your lambs at your farm or do u take them to an auction
I sell most of mine off the farm
Thanks. So, its best to have at least 8 fields for rotation?
Can you put horses in a field that you just moved goats out of? Or, will they also get the same worms?
If you do weekly rotations, eight paddocks works very well. It is OK to put horses in, because they do not get the same parasites as Goats and Sheep.
Is there a product you can spray your pasture without harming the animals, ie.. sulphur, borax? Also what are your thoughts on diatamatious earth as a natural wormer.
Nothing that I’m aware of. DE studies that I’ve read have not shown much benefit, but I know several farmers that love it and believe it makes a big difference. I have not personally tried it.
Would mixing food grade Diatomaceous Earth in with their grain every few meals help with worms?
The studies that I’ve read didn’t make it sound like DE is very affective. However, several farmers have told me they feel they have good success with it.
I was interested in your shoot width and height in your working pens.
Could you share that pls?
Here is a video of the working system as a whole. th-cam.com/video/wIFAXsZSeEA/w-d-xo.html
I also have a videos on the gates and flip table.
That go with cows and horses too
I'm starting to rotationally graze with two goats, and I put them up in the horse trailer at night that travels with them and holds the water/minerals etc. Can I mitigate problems with worms with poop in the trailer simply by sweeping/cleaning out the horse trailer when moving?
I think cleaning the trailer when moving should work.
What if you don't have enough pastures and feed hay
If you are truly “dry lotting” (no grass, just dirt) and feeding hay, worms should not be a big problem. They pick up the worm larva from grass. Hay should be larva free (can’t survive in dried hay). However if you have just a little grass that they graze very close they may be picking up worm larva.
How do you determine when a certain dewormer is no longer effective and its time to move to the next one?
If I treat several and there is no improvement in 3 weeks in any of them I know it’s time to try something else.
I have four baby lamb all are 3 months old. I plan to keep them in confinement to help minimized parasite and protect them from bob cat and coyotes that are prevailing where I lived. Do you think this practice will help, and should I be concern with other diseases/illness when housing the sheep in closed shelter?
You will need to keep the area clean and not let manure build up. If you keep it clean and dry you will greatly reduce your problems.
Mammals have worms passed through the placenta
does bush hogging a pasture help with sheep worm
Probably not. My understanding is that the worm larva are on the bottom 3-4” which is usually not affected by bush hogging.
What would u suggest for a small herd with just 3 paddocks ?
Probably just move them every 2-3 weeks. Or better if you could use portable fencing to subdivide paddocks into smaller areas.
Have a nice shelter of shade where they would mostly poop. Then you keep all poop there mostly when they stand up and that would control their poop. I never thought of it, but maybe that's why some fenced paddocks have no trees ect for shade. Bad advice thou. I'd never recommend animals stay in a pen with no large vegetation for them to live with. Hmm?
My goats (under 100) graze on 100 ac. They seem to work themselves. Mostly never worming and they are thriving. There's not much pine at all which acts as a natural dewormer. Do you know what else could be worming them out there?
That is great! I would guess your stocking rate is so low that it is hard for there to be much of a build up of worms on the property. Could also be climate (if you live in a drier area).
Which medication or medicine is good for worms
th-cam.com/video/kLR2wHJrgjo/w-d-xo.html
Have you ever dewormed with DE diamatyaceous earth
I have not personally used DE.
🇺🇸👍👍👍OK
hmmm, im surprised zero grazing is not mentioned. im curious
Good point. I’ve never tried dry lotting for more than short periods of time (a week or two), so I don’t have much experience with it.
Guineas are great for keeping worms down in fields of goats 🐐 and sheep. 🐑
Hi i was wondering how guineas find and eat sheep worms cheers
@@annonymousme2528 They are amazing birds that first originated on the continent of Africa and are fierce insect insect eaters,including the tiniest of insect's.... worm eggs.
I have a friend that feeds natural charcoal, like a burned tree limb, into their feed. Will that kill parasites?
She learned that from her grandpa and convinced that that is a natural deworming technique. Kinda makes sense. What is your opinion
I really don’t know. I think I’ve heard that before, but I’ve never tried it. I’ve never seen any studies done on that.
Run cattle with them cattle worms can't live in sheep and sheep worms can't live in cattle also feed pumpkins its a natural dewormer
