PREGNANT DOES

3-4 weeks before parturition I give 2cc IM of Clostridium C & D and Tetanus Toxiod ( Bar Vac CD/T), hopefully, for passive immunity for the kids and booster protection for the "mom" against Enterotoxemia

KIDS OF IMMUNIZED DOES

I give 2cc IM (split into 2- 1cc doses at different sites) Bar Vac CD/T at 6 weeks and 10 weeks of age.

ADULT STOCK

Yearly-- I give 2cc IM Bar Vac CD/T booster.

Every 3 months-- I treat for Coccidiosis with Sulmet 12% (Sulfamethazine)-- in drinking water for at least 5 continuous days. I mix 50cc of Sulmet per gallon of drinking water and allow one gallon per 2-3 animals per day.

Every 3 months-- I treat for worms, alternating between 2 or more agents, Safegard paste (Fendendazole), Ivomec ( Ivermectin ), Valbazen ( Albendazole). I treat twice, 2 weeks apart.

Safeguard Paste--with the 25gm size tube--I use 1 complete turn on the dosing nut per 40 lb. regardless of the animals age. ( the target dose is 7mg/lb--3X the cattle dose.)

Ivomec 1% Injectable--I give orally (draw from the bottle with needle and syringe then remove the needle to squirt into the animals mouth). 2cc per 100 lb. ; 1cc per 50 lb., etc.
( the target dose is 20mg/100lb--twice the cattle dose.)

Valbazen (113mg/ml)--NOT FOR PREGNANT DOES--I give orally 2cc per 25 lb, 4cc per 50 lb., etc. ( the target dose is 9.08mg/lb--twice the cattle dose. )

When not using Ivomec (which is effective for lice as well as worms) I use Co-ral 1% dust (coumaphos) for lice prevention.
