Re: [blackbelly] (no subject)
Does anyone from this list have llamas? I keep my sheep and llamas together at all times and if the basic h is not harmful to llamas this could be the solution I was looking for. Thanks, Britt Susan Smith writes: Stephanie, I also have 60 ewes. I put the 1/2 cup per 50 gallons in two seperate 50 gallon tubs for them. Unless the water gets really nasty I do not change the water, just keep adding water to the tub so all the Basic H is consumed. When I add more water I put the hose down into the water because if that is not done there is foam. My sheep then think there is a monster living in the water and won't touch it til the foam is gone. Sheesh! This is how I do it, and I do it once a month to all my animals including the fowl. I really do not understand how or why it works, but just as long as they are all drinking from the tubs with Basic H in it.. it works.

Re: [blackbelly] Basic H----SOLD!
Not to throw a fly in the ointment (no pun intended), but tread with caution. If Basic H kills flies and parasites, what might it do to your sheep over time? Would you be willing to drink it yourself? Give it to your kids? I've received word from a list member who has done some testing with Basic H and reports that ewe lambs and very old ewes suffer from Basic H because it is a poison. (He has not provided additional detail.) I'd appreciate everyone who tries Basic H to keep the list informed as to the results--both positive and negative. Since those results might take some time to manifest themselves, we all should keep our eyes open in the interim. Just as there are no scientific studies that prove the effectiveness of Basic H as a deworming agent, there are no studies that indicate any negative effects. It's up to us to find out and share our information.

Re: [blackbelly] Basic H----SOLD!
Susan, I'm new to equines and I've been told equines build a tolerance to wormer meds and that they should not be given the same med monthly and should be rotated. Is this just a general safeguard or a solid fact? I got to admit the Basic H sounds to good to be true but I'm not doubting that it works. I'll ask people on some of the equine list to get there opinions. It sounds like you have a similar setup as I do with llamas, sheep, and equines in one pasture. I also have ducks and chickens in the same area. Susan Smith writes: I appreciate your concern and input Carol. I might add that with any product there is no cure all for every circumstance.

Thanks for information. I have been in contact with the breeders in Barbados for a while and friends of use went to visit.

The have three types of sheep, in every flock is some of what ever kind. The only genetically well bred flock of Barbados Blackbelly as far as I know are in Cuba and in France, under INRA research.

Re: [blackbelly] Basic H----SOLD!
I used basic H last fall on the sheep and it did seem to work on reducing or eliminating worms. In the spring I wormed with Ivomec drench and this summer I switched back to basic H in the water. It was quite hot at this time, which I thought would be better than in the fall when it was cooler and they don't seem to drink as much water. Within 1 day I had 2 ewes go off feed - when they didn't eat for 2 days and were quite leathargic, I emptied the basic H out of the water - they immediately drank the new water and got back to normal. Apparently these two wouldn't drink that water and, with as hot as it was, they had dehydrated after not drinking for a couple of days. I haven't tried the basic H again since that happened. I would definatley watch your sheep and make sure everyone is drinking the water and not getting dehydrated.
