  • The famacha use is good for 70% of the parasites out there but it does miss some. I lost some lambs who scored ok on the famacha, got a necropsy done because I couldn’t figure it out and the vet and I found coccidia and some other worms that don’t show up normally. We rotate our pasture every other day and run about 100+ sheep. The best thing you can do is get the fecal exam twice a year in addition to what your doing. I’m learning to do my own on the farm. Nicely done video. Thank you

  • My friend and I raise sheep and goats, not very profitably, in the Sahara Desert. We periodically dose them all with Ivomec or some version of that. There are two vets in the area, but there is no laboratory available so everything is just 'best guess' and treatment. We have, counting all ages, about 120 goats and about 50 sheep. Here in Tunisia, sheep are much more expensive. But the problem today: In the area around the pens there is grazing--browsing, but we also have to give grain which is a mix of barley, chaff and ground date seeds. We used to use about 75 bags a month. In the past year, grain prices have doubled, and thank God our herd has grown, but we can not afford 75 bags. We are considering a mix of about 55 bags. Bag sizes have also decreased from 50 kilos to 40 kilos. Today the price for barley is about 13 dollars per 40 kilos compared to about 6 dollars/50 kilos in the past. This is very worrying especially as many animals are pregnant. I know that animal growers around the world are facingr similar problems. When grain prices are high, prices in the market are low so a person doesn't want to sell but also can't afford to feed well. Hay prices are about triple from two years ago--now almost 9 dollars a bale. I told my friend we should sell a few, but we should just focus on keeping the animals alive as best we can and hope grain prices fall. Do you have a philosophy for when times get tough? And what is your philosophy for selling? My friend wanted to build the herd to the point where the number was self-sustaining--about 200-300 animals, but it clearly is becoming economically impossible. I love the animals and don't want to see them go.

    • No. I don’t think you would be able to get any worms from the meat. You would have to ingest the larvae from their 💩. Even then they probably wouldn’t survive in the human gut. There may be some types of parasites that could be transferred, but I would not think the most common stomach worms could be.

    • Most dewormers are safe to give to nursing does/ewes. After lambing or kidding the mother may be more susceptible to worms as well, so it is good to keep a good eye on them and deworm them if you think they need it.

    • A runny nose can be caused by anything from an infection to allergies. This time of year when the pollen is thick, it’s not uncommon for them to have runny noses. The main thing is you just want to make sure it’s nothing serious like pneumonia. If you are concerned, you can give them a shot of anabiotic (LA 200 or Nuflor).

  • Rotate your animals and get them off those larve they just pushed out so they don't eat them up again and you won't have to worry. I've never bought a bottle of dewormer and I never will and I've never lost one to worms. Not to mention it will help your pastures.
