Determining the correct dosage of ivermectin for goats is crucial. Incorrect dosages can lead to ineffective treatment or toxicity. Here’s a simple guide:
- Dosage Amount: Administer 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight. Weigh your goat accurately before dosage.
- Frequency: Administer orally every 10-14 days, as necessary.
- Preparation: Use a syringe for precision. Ensure it’s labeled specifically for goats (1% ivermectin solution).
- Administration: Place the syringe into the side of the goat’s mouth, inject slowly, and ensure they swallow.
- Warning: Consult a veterinarian before use to avoid resistance or complications.

|---|---|

Remember, correct dosage ensures the health and safety of your goat.
