Naturally Treating Our Baby Goats For Parasites

Time to treat our goats for bugs that we found. A week ago we noticed some little bugs around the ears of our kid goats. After treating them with Diatomaceous Earth (DE) we noticed that the bugs were gone but they have laid their eggs and it was time for a follow up treatment.

I love how the adult goats look on to "supervise" the dusting process. The little black goat is thoroughly enjoying the lovin' it's getting.

[@The10AcreWoods]

Funny how they have such character, even thru the camera

[@lambertguimond2227]

I had no clue one could use DE on animals. .. sounds quick and easy. I wish you could do an update in a couple of weeks with final results. Thanks you two for the vids.

[@The10AcreWoods]

I will do an update on the little ones in next week's video. I checked them today and there are no bugs. There were a couple eggs I saw but they are likely inactive.

Extra video!!!!! You made my day!!! And thank you for showing fernando!!!! Does this process work on something like fleas?

[@gabbiesmeemee]

Hey Tara and Mark, it's Deb here. It is so good to see these animals back into the your after such a long winter. To see Sheldon and Myra running around like they were put a big smile on my face. All those precious little babies just melted my heart. I'm sorry I haven't been here in a few weeks having a lot of problems with my back still. My surgery had to be postponed because it may end up being two surgeries at the same time. It's also coming out my my son's birthday which is a very hard day for me. The temperatures have been so cold here oh, that I haven't been able to get my starters in the ground. I'm going to have to replant zucchini and squash and watermelon, because they got too leggy and started dying off. That's okay I usually start them outside anyway but this year I thought I would give it a try inside. I actually have better luck planting them directly in the ground I'm getting a heart as quicker. That is on some things not all of them. I have four more trays a vegetables to go into the garden + 5 flower trays going into the garden and there's 50 cells in each tray so there's quite a few. And I planted four seeds in each cell in the corners. Today the temperatures were in the 80s that I was hurting so bad I just couldn't get up. I'm praying today it's at the temperatures will warm up enough this morning so I can be out there around 9 and get a lot of it planted. only way I can do it is to crawl around on my knees and hands. That's what you call immersing your whole self in your garden LOL I could probably do the army crawl if my back wasn't messed up LOL. Thank you for another great video. It's good to see everybody doing so well. Sorry to hear about one of your turkeys. That's really sad. Is there anything that can be done to their Spurs to keep them from damaging the females like this? I would hope so. It's sad to lose an animal especially when it's an accident while mating. Take care and God bless Deb

[@The10AcreWoods]

Yes, it's nice that they are back outside. We are keeping an eye on the two other turkey hens and no as far as we know there is nothing that can be done about his spurs.

[@tanyajohnson3241]

So many people say it doesn't work BUT I did one on one doe, and none on the other. In a few days the one I dusted stopped itching. The other still itching so yeah

[@The10AcreWoods]

depends on how bad it is, we use more as preventative. But lice is persistent

[@brookehamilton4497]

First time bottle mama, both my little boys have fleas from the old chicken coop, I had no idea you could use DE, and so glad I discovered it! We’ll see how their progress goes, can you do it daily til all the fleas are gone or will I have to wait a couple days to add more if needed?

[@The10AcreWoods]

Fleas take 2 weeks to hatch so you should treat them once a week for three weeks to ensure you get the ones that hatch. Happy to help 👍

[@mariae6942]

I love DIATEMACEOUS EARTH. It’s the only dewormer I use on all my animals including using it myself. My vet knew very little about DE, when I told him that I do not use chemical dewormers he was a little stunned. He asked me if he could run a fecal on my alpacas and goats, I said “sure.” He later calls me on the phone and tells me,” I am amazed.” He told me that he really thought that he would find parasites but he didn’t. DE works!!!! I just mix it with their feed. USE THE FOOD GRADE. Great video guys! 👍

[@brewsterly2927]

How often, how much and to you wet feed down to make it stick?

[@pichikokis]

Pero fernando!!!!😽😽😽😽

[@karrenbrazel8844]

Hiya guys.....Here in Australia, I found it hard trying to find DE, finally found some and it says that I can give to my goats (animals) with their food, a natural dewormer....however after watching you guys, I am also gonna rub on their backs too. Do you do this regularly or only when you see critters/eggs? I didn't know you could use firewood ash. You have gorgeous lil kids...super cute.

[@The10AcreWoods]

In the spring we do every 2 weeks or so , this is when they show up naturally. So depending on area(weather) Can do a monthly dusting of ashes, getting it into a routine to prevent laying of eggs. Once you see eggs then have to do every week as they hatch.

[@karrenbrazel8844]

@@The10AcreWoods ok, that makes sense…. Thank you for answering my question. I just love how you have so many different animals, would be my dream to have so many also…. however, I will be a responsible lil farm owner and not over commit what we are capable of🙁…well at least for now.

[@ginaburton7550]

Hi did you get fish for your pond yet

[@The10AcreWoods]

Not yet, I am working with our government conservation to ensure we are adding non-invasive species of fish. We will likely be adding Fatheads (Catfish) as they are native to Manitoba.

[@sonjahanley220]

Thank you for this! I just used the video to help me with my goats today. Do you know if the chickens give lice to the goats or is it a different type all together?

[@The10AcreWoods]

Lice are generally species specific and likely will not transfer over to goats. Goats and sheep however do transfer lice to each other.

[@audreyabdo7719]

Please be careful inhaling that stuff, it should say on the enclosure avoid inhaling, wear at least a dust mask. My friends make up some type of mixture with a bit of molasses and it works fine for the different ones and my granny use to use potash like you were saying. That is what they called the ashes. If you apply this like your doing and it gets wet by rain or water it wouldn’t be effective if that were the case.potash worked fine where I was born in Georgia, USA.

[@The10AcreWoods]

Yes, best to use DE outside as it can cause some respiratory concerns. 👍

[@theopoltinetjangura180]

Good afternoon what exactly is that that you are using fir treatment is it's fire ash or what and where can I buy that please

[@The10AcreWoods]

If you don't have fireplace ashes you can purchase Diatomaceous Earth AKA D.E.

[@kaliedwards9979]

I’m sorry if you mentioned this in the video and i just didn’t hear it lol but after putting it on do you ever reapply it? I have a Pygmy goat and she has lice/mites and I put DE on her last Sunday and they are still not gone. i know it does take some time but just worries me. When can i reapply it?

[@The10AcreWoods]

Do a second treatment approximately 10 days after the 1st as lice have an incubation period of 8 to 10 days and the second treatment will focus on the young.

[@musicfeind]

Will this get rid of ticks please? Our lambs have gotten a ton out of no where

[@The10AcreWoods]

Not sure, because we have guinea fowl, we don't have any ticks on our yard. My guess would be no as they are likely not small enough to be affected. If you try it let us know 👍

[@lesliemandic9673]

Food Grade DE! used it around my chickens, now on my new (first time for me) bottle babies. I will check closer for bugs, I think some of the white stuff was dandruff. Hmmmm. OhYeah some extremest take a tsp a day for whatever reason.... I am from California but not that "natural"

And when they also get oldler would it safe for them to eat oh by the way i baught the food grade one or was i sopose to by the other one?

[@The10AcreWoods]

We usually treat first sign(about 2 weeks old) can just put down there back and armpits and leave it on, it will disappear, can retreat in 2 weeks(lice gestation) and once a month for maintenance. They shake it off by end of day(or shake into the inner layers against skin to treat) We used to use as dewormer (in food) now we use pumpkin, squash seeds. I do prefer the seeds as they love it as a treat as well. We also use ashes more now as they are free, but food grade is fine.

@@The10AcreWoods I would advise anyone applying DE to kids to cover their little mouths very gentle with a t-shirt or some other light weight fabric. It can wreak havoc on their little lungs. Humans should also wear a mask when dusting with DE. It’s just common sense if you really know what you’re dealing with.
