Natural Remedies to use as a dewormer

[Jeanette56]

This will be our first time using Garlic Barrier and I would like to know how much molasses, and ACV you add for your mixture?
We will be using it for Dorper Sheep.
Also, have you by any chance used it for your dogs? If so, how much, how often, etc.
I've really appreciated all your helpful posts!

That site may be helpful for you. I use one Tablespoon of garlic barrier per adult sheep and half that amount for lambs. I mix it with some molasses and add vitamin E and liquid Vitamin B's...and probiotics, then make the rest of the container with Apple Cider Vinegar to make 60 cc per adult sheep and 30 cc per lamb.

How the pumpkin and /or large, old yellow squash work...sheep eat it with the cut up pumpkin or squash (lots of vitamins) and worms latch onto the seeds, and pass out when they poop...air and sun kill the worms in a short time. We plant extra crook neck yellow squash just for the sheep. Haven't had much luck growing pumpkins. Sheep love the squash, it's good for them and the seeds are supposed to help with worms.

I'm assuming from your identifiers that you feed raw
How do you personally go about feeding pumpkin seeds to your dogs (cats?)? and do you chop or grind them first?
Thanks!

I deworm my dogs with pumpkin seeds. I have been giving it to the goats too and haven't had any signs of worms yet.

Well, this is Wales, but over here we would use diatomaceous earth mixed in the food (essentially limestone with the minute fossils crushed up), chicory (the plant...natural vermicide, but not liked by all sheep) and male fern, latin name Dryopteris filix-mas which is active against tape worm.

However, I too use drugs designed for the job if there is heavy infestation (a faecal egg count will help to determine this).
