http://www.farmsteadhealth.com/ "RESTORE, a pure, botanical anthelmintic compound, is safe and effective, managing internal parasite control in livestock. No withdrawal period is required for milking or slaughter. Feed RESTORE once weekly year around for maintenance, more frequently for heavily infested animals and during times of parasite activity. Complete instructions included. INGREDIENTS: Wormwood, Garlic, Gentian, Fennel, Psyllium, Centaury in precise balance."
"Both botanical and chemical parasite control must be carried out in conjunction with other holistic practices in order to be effective. Rotation onto clean pastures and timed interventions are critical to your animals' health.

Deworming treatments, whether administered using natural products or not, should therefore only be employed in emergency situations or, if using weaker products, as preventive maintenance. This document provides a description of internal parasites, methods to prevent their infestation and alternatives to conventional dewormers for ruminants. The section on botanical dewormers also includes information on other farm animals (pigs and poultry). " "From the ecological perspective, serious problems with internal parasites indicate that changes in feed, field management or soil management are required. By changing the production method or by using preventive measures, it is not necessary to rely on dewormers too often. " "Garlic is a common plant dewormer that is easy to find. It is known to be active against, among others, Ascaris, Enterobius and, of particular interest for ruminants, against lungworm in general1. It must be used, however, as prevention (prophylaxis) rather than as treatment ..." "Wormwood Wormwood, as its name suggests, is an excellent dewormer. Many wormwood species have deworming properties. ..." "Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) also has deworming properties. Several wormwood species grow wild in North America. It might be a good idea to let these plants grow along pastures where the animals can eat them as needed. " and more.....
