The wormer we use any more is Cydectin (a pour on for cattle) given orally at the rate of 1cc per 25 pounds. It really depends upon which area of the country you live in. Some people report very good results with Ivomec, others Valbazen, Panacur, etc.

The best way to determine how effective a wormer is - learn how to do fecals (see the GoatWorld Articles section for an article regarding how to do this). It will let you see for yourself what kind of kill a wormer is getting for you.

SafeGard is so so as a white wormer. It has become largely ineffective where we live though. Sometimes what I do is use the SafeGard on the younger goats though and it seems to work for awhile but eventually they all get Cydectin.

Best regards,
