Parasites in Goats
How to Identify, Solve, and Prevent Parasite Problems
Do you …
- deworm goats on a schedule?
- inject dewormers?
- give a dewormer to goats before moving to a new pasture?
- rotate dewormers?
- deworm the whole herd at one time?
If you answered YES to ANY of these questions, keep reading! Research has shown that ALL of these practices ultimately lead to dewormer resistance, which means that eventually none of the dewormers will kill parasites on your farm — and that means the parasites can kill your goats.
Parasites have been cited as the #1 cause of death in goats. If you’ve had goats for any length of time, you’ve probably had to deal – them at some point. Unfortunately, the Internet is filled – tons of old information! Practices from 10 or 20 years ago are still being used today, even though the latest research has shown that those practices lead to dewormer resistance.
So, where do you get the most up-to-date information? You can’t subscribe to all of the scientific journals. You may not be able to get a farm sitter, which means you can’t travel to attend conferences. That’s why I created this online course — and no, this is NOT about what I do. This course is about the latest research on parasites in small ruminants.

Deborah is the author of six books, including Homegrown and Handmade, Ecothrifty, and Raising Goats Naturally, as well as her latest book, Goats Giving Birth. She also teaches sustainable agriculture courses online for the University of Massachusetts – Amherst.

Frequently Asked Questions
When I started – goats, I ultimately had two problems that almost spelled the end of my goat-raising adventure — copper deficiency and parasites. Both of those problems were made worse by bad information. When we started having problems – parasites, I was initially told to start giving a dewormer to my goats every month and to rotate dewormers, which are two old ideas from the 90s that ultimately made my problem much worse. Before I had the right information, I was watching goats die from parasites, helpless to do anything because the parasites on my farm had become resistant to every drug on the market. Even though it’s been more than ten years since that happened to me, a lot of that same old misinformation is still being passed around because nothing on the web ever dies. No one should have to learn everything the hard way like I did. That’s why I’m passionate about this course. I want everyone to have the information they need to succeed.
