These recommendations are general preventative health recommendations. Additional vaccinations (ex. Soremouth, resptiratory disease vaccines), deworming or other recommendations may be made depending on your herd situation. Please give us a call for consultation regarding a herd specific health program, establishing a CAE-free status and for dairy considerations.
Coccidiosis prevention: Coccidia are a parasite that can affect goat herds and cause illness and mortality in young goats. To help reduce the risk of coccidial infections, try reducing your pasture populations, minimize environmental stress and feed your goats in a feeder off the ground. If any goats have diarrhea, bring a fecal sample to Crater Animal Clinic for a fecal exam.
