Vaccines |
|
We Vaccinate
yearly with CD/T
Vaccine as well
as Pneumonia
Vaccine. All
kids are given
Di-Methox at a 7
day schedule
during their 4th
week of life.
We are in a
Semi-selenium
deficiant area,
so all goats get
a dose of Bo-Se
every 5-6
months. Pregnant
does get a CD/T
booster, Bo-se,
Worming, and B
Complex 3-4
weeks before due
dates. Pregnant
does also get
calcium at
kidding and
wormer the day
they kid. |

Maintenance |
|
We have no set
schedule for
hoof trimming
but we usually
get to it every
3 months or so.
We worm on a
60-90 day basis
using Cydectin
or Ivermectin on
Does and
Valbazen or
Ivermectin on
Bucks and
non-pregnant
Does. Kids are
wormed at three
weeks old and
again at 2
months old.
Alabama is
horrible for
worms...we
really have to
keep up on it.
