​

• VermX has a product for sheep&goats, cattle, pigs and horses

• Tubby by CM Animal Health produces many vitamin, mineral & herbal products

• There is lots of data & research going into the efficacy of COWPs. A bolus of 2g per kid or doe can significantly reduce haemonchus burdens. 

• Suggested interval between doses is 6 months.

• No effect against lungworm or fluke. The effect comes from the needles as much as the copper, so a pure copper supplement does not work

• DE works by physically traumatizing the external walls of parasites. Very effective against mites, lice and poultry intestinal worms - however its efficacy in the ruminant is unproven. Two clinical trials did not find any beneficial effect in cattle.

• Tannins and the PACs have been clinically proven to reduce gastrointestinal parasites (Haemonchus & roundworms - no effect against lungworm & liver flukes). The target is to get 50% of the animal's diet to be the high tannin foods for atleast a week.
