You can use a drench specially formulated for goats or sheep and goats. The drench has to get rid of the worms. It will usually say what type or if it does kill worms in goats. If a goat is left for too long with worms, it will, in a small chance, survive, but in a larger chance, die.
Drenching with a product that is registered to kill worms in goats.
Yes if they are cograzing they can both get worms from the pasture
Goats do get parasites (e.g ticks, worms etc.) but it's highly uncommon for goats to get fleas.
I would deworm, as in drench your goats when a worm test or a faecal egg count indicates that the goats have worms.
No. Your goats are most likely have worms, that is usually one of the first signs.
It depends on the type of worms that your goat has - it is best to do a faecal egg count and a larval culture first. Then depending on what worms are found then a drench which is appropriate.
They could eat a worm if it was in the mouthful of grass they were eating but it is not their preferred food.
yes goats can help calm horses, pretty much any farm type animal will calm a horse, you just have to be careful they may chew the horses tail up to where they cant reach anymore, so i dont suggest putting a goat with a show horse. goats and horses can be great companions, and the goats breaks the cycle of worms that attack horses. These worms don't do anything to the goat.
This could be submandibular oedema and can be due to worms such as Barber's Pole (Haemonchus contortus)
It depends on the type of pasture you have, the breed of goat, the stage of growth of the goat, whether you are supplementary feeding and your rainfall and how often you want to drench your goats for worms - probably an acre per goatPotential stocking rate (DSE/ha) = [(Annual rainfall mm - 250) x 1.3] / 25.
Goats.
If they are regularly coughing and the feed is not dusty then I would take their temperatures as they may have a respiratory infection and need antibiotics or they might have lung worms and need drenching for worms.
