VermX Have you tried it as an alternative wormer?
« on: December 09, 2016, 10:24:56 am »
Hi,

Has anyone tried Verm X as an alternative wormer? If so how did it go, and how did you feed it?

Thank-ewe,

francesv

I haven't used it but I think it's use would go hand in hand with good pasture management, no overstocking and regular FEC's, which of course should be the same for all worming programmes but sometimes it is easy to find yourself short of pasture to rotate, keeping stock longer than you intended etc

Don't waste your money.  It used to be described as a herbal wormer but they have changed that to a "intestinal hygiene" product.

Vermex is NOT a wormer! Please do not use it as such, if your goats need worming use a proven wormer.

There must be discussions about this on TAS somewhere... it does come up regularly!
