A Chara,
There are probably a great many aromatic herbs that can help to prevent
buildup of worm infection in grazers. We try to give our animals access to
the living plants so that they can help themselves. Low stocking densities
and mixed grazing are equally helpful of course.
However for half the year there is nothing much growing at all in our part
of the world and this is also the period when animals get most infected.
So sometimes we use more specific herbal treatments.
Garlic and ivy with molasses we use most. But blue sage, mustard,
nasturtium, horse radish, turnips, centaurea and wormwoods are also
sometimes useful.
If you find out anything really useful please let me know.
John D'hondt
