Drugs Used to Control Internal Parasites in Livestock:

Drugs (Anthelmintics) Used to Control Internal Parasites in Livestock
Disclaimer:Not all drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in sheep and goats. The mention of non-approved products is for informational purposes only.
The use of non-approved drugs constitutes extra label drug use and can only be done legally under the advice of a licensed veterinarian.
Note: That being said- Please keep in mind that the dosages given in this chart do NOT reflect the Correct Dosage for goats- The dosages here are too low to be effective in the use for goat parasite management. It is not unusual for goat breeders to use many veterinary drugs as "Off Label" or "Extra Label" for the use in their goats.
