  • With warm wet weather, goats can become susceptible to internal parasites. In this video we go over the materials you need and the steps to show you how to perform your own fecal testing at home.

      Ruby Gray Haha!!! Making poop and microscopes interesting. I know that I am much more likely to pull out the microscope than I am to drive to the vet, pay $15, and wait two days for results.

    So I right clicked on each image, selected "Copy Image Location," pasted that into a separate browser, opened it, right-clicked on the images and pasted them all into a Paint document.
    Just in case anyone else is having problems!

    When using the McMaster slide, do you count one or both sides of the slide then multiply by 100 to get EPG?

    • @HammockHavenFarm

      It has been a long time but I believe I average the two then multiply by 100.

      Christine Haslam I don’t know for poultry. The McMaster is designed so you can estimate the total egg count. Any slide will work to check for and identify eggs.

    I followed your instructions and thank you for making this video. I didn't see any eggs under the microscope which makes me think I'm doing something wrong. The only thing I can think of is about the 2 grams of poop. My two grams was 9 poop pellets. I believe you said yours was 2. Would over 2 grams of poop in the 60 ml flotation liquid cause issues and no eggs to float? Just wondering. Thanks.

      We use a wormer/medicine to knock out the worms. This is Chase typing so I don't know the exact kind we use but I know some work much better than others for us.

    • @HammockHavenFarm

      I watch their eyelids. Search how to do a FAMACHA Score on goats. If they are really pale, I'll go ahead and worm them. If I've already wormed them and they're still pale, or if the eyelids look okay but their body condition is dropping, I'll run the test. Does that make sense?

    I am curious how many goats do you have and are you able to make money producing cheese from those goats? how much money? Our vision is to create a business with our goats and introduce this to the villages for making cheese. Have you ever made goat ice cream? Thanks for all your fantastic videos.

    • @HammockHavenFarm
      @HammockHavenFarm  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, we have tried ice cream and it can be great! The amount of goats we have varies especially after kidding season but 10 or 15 milkers is our average. The key is getting an appetite for the cheese. We began at a farmers market selling cheese, milk, and other products to open people up to the idea. After a little over two years, we had enough people who would go somewhere else than the market. Glad you like our videos! Thanks -Chase

    So if a goat has worms what does that mean?Does it affect the milk directly, as in .. is the milk safe for consumption? or does it affect the health of the goat, which then affects milk ??
    how often do you test? .

      You are taking this way too seriously 🤦‍♀️ she’s not handling human blood, it would be EXTREMELY unlikely for her to contract anything from livestock feces.
      You should have probably exercised your right to remain silent the whole time and not even made this comment. It’s literally just poop, she probably lives on a farm and if you know anything about a farm you know that deal you with a lot of poop everyday as is. It’s inevitable on a farm.
      Thats why we frequently wash our hands and have disinfectant sprays specifically made for cleaning and sanitizing stuff with poop on it.
