About this episode
Whether you are facing resistance to chemical dewormers, or whether you prefer to use more natural remedies, copper oxide wire particles may be helpful in the fight against barber pole worm ( haemonchus contortus ) in goats and sheep.

She has had multiple studies published in peer-reviewed journals, such as Veterinary Parasitology . In this episode, Dr. Burke talks about using copper oxide in goats, as well as her research on herbal dewormers. Dr. Burke is also a member of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control , where you can find links to more than a decade's worth of studies done on worms in goats, sheep, and camelids.
