Probiotics for goats

[20kidsonhill]

we recently decided to do a couple days of probiotics after we worm or treat for coccidiosis. We had been using the Probios powder, but we got a probiotic pack from Fasttrack to try. We didn't get it until this fall and we don't worm much this time of year, so I am curious how well it will work. We were having problems with a random goat scouring after worming and after talking to our vet about this, he felt we should try to do more with probiotics after we worm and treat.

We like to give 3x the daily dose of probios for 2 days after antibiotic use or whenever scouring is present. It provides a fast boost of gut flora which generally stops mild scouring. Just our practice here.

Mine always have a few scoops of probios in their minerals, and more is given to a particular goat if they have loose stools or seem bloated. That's what works for us.
