Combating damaging parasites in goats and sheep

Combating damaging parasites in goats and sheep

Stomach worms are among the most common and damaging gastrointestinal parasites affecting goats and sheep in the tropics and sub-tropics. Yet poor farmers in these areas often lack the resources they need to buy costly anti-parasitic (anthelmintic) drugs. This guide explains how they can overcome this problem, by using simple techniques to assess their animals’ health and inexpensive, homemade feed blocks to supplement their diets.
