The mission of the
SCSRPC is to develop and
validate novel methods
for sustainable control
of gastrointestinal
nematodes in small
ruminants and to educate
stakeholders in the
small ruminant industry
on methods and
recommendations for
gastrointestinal
nematode control.

Sericea
lespedeza
has been
evaluated in
several SARE
projects as
a
high-quality,
low input
forage that
also
suppresses
gastro-intestinal
parasites.

Recommendation
for Moxidectin (Cydectin)
Treatment in
Goats
It is
recommended
that the
cattle
injectable
formulation
of
moxidectin
(recently
approved by
FDA) be used
in goats
because
moxidectin
has a
superior
pharmacokinetic
profile in
goats when
administered
by
subcutaneous
injection as
compared to
when
administered
orally.
This means
that a much
greater
proportion
of the drug
administered
remains in
the body at
high
therapeutic
levels, but
is no more
persistent
over time.
Therefore,
worm
resistance
to
moxidectin
will develop
more slowly
if given by
injection to
goats.
Because the
drug reaches
high
therapeutic
levels when
injected,
there is no
need to
double the
dose. So
when
administering
moxidectin
by
subcutaneous
injection,
use the
cattle dose
which is on
the label
(0.09 mg/lb;
0.2 mg/kg;
21 day meat
withdrawal )
This is the
one
exception
with goats
where a
dewormer
should be
administered
orally and
where the
regular
label dose
(not 2 times
the dose)
should be
used.
However, it
is still OK
to
administer
moxidectin
orally to
goats (just
not
preferred).
But if an
individual
has a
personal
preference
to
administer
moxidectin
orally to
goats, then
the sheep
oral drench
at a 2X dose
(0.18 mg/lb;
0.4 mg/kg)
should be
given.
Please note
that
moxidectin (Cydectin)
is not
approved for
use in goats
and is
therefore
considered
extra-label
usage.
Extra-label
usage of
drugs is
permitted
only by or
on the order
of a
veterinarian,
and only
within a
valid
veterinary-client-patient
relationship.
Non-veterinarians
should
always
consult with
their
veterinarian
before using
any drug in
an
extra-label
manner.

Parasite Control for
Goats: Series of Six
Articles
by
The Southern Consortium
for Small Ruminant
Parasite Control
The SCSRPC authored this series
of articles in Goat Rancher Magazine on worms
in sheep and goats because of the abundance of disinformation on the
subject. This series is one of the most comprehensive and accurate sources
of information on sheep and goat worms in the Southeastern US. It covers
various types of worms, management for preventing worms, FAMACHA, selection
of dewormers, alternative dewormers
and how to do your own fecal egg counts
and dewormer research.
