Not for use in lactation. I haven't used it.

Panacur works fine for me so far (7 day milk  withdrawal for human consumption if given during lactation)

Have used it in the past- we tend to switch between wormers every so often.

You can use any wormer on a goat and take the milk for kids/lambs/pigs - the withdrawal period is just for "human" consumption.  I try not use milk from goats within the withdrawal period in case of antibiotics, but only if I have enough of it to be able to do so. Sometimes impossible - like when goat needed AB's straight after kidding for example.
