@dalyn_cloete: Internal parasites can quietly destroy performance in your goat herd 🐐 Goats pick up parasite eggs while grazing especially on heavily grazed or irrigated pastures. This is why good pasture management and rotational grazing are essential: they break the parasite life cycle and reduce infestation over time. Although Boer goats are less susceptible to roundworm, strategic deworming still matters: ✔️ Dose 3 weeks after the first rains ✔️ More regularly on irrigated or permanently damp pastures ✔️ Watch for liver fluke near rivers, springs, and wet areas ✔️ Dose kids monthly from ±1 months of age for tapeworms Internal parasites reduce weight gain, fertility, immunity, and feed efficiency — and can even affect a buck’s ability to detect does on heat. The result? Lower kidding percentages and reduced profitability. Regular observation, targeted treatment, and faecal egg counts (with help from your local vet) allow you to treat early, lower costs, and keep your herd productive. Smart parasite control = healthier goats and better returns 💪🐐 Visit Kaunasfarming.com to learn more #agriculture #farmingSA #boergoats #boerbok #goats ,
