DID YOU KNOW Cydectin cattle pour on can harm your goat? While it has been proven an effective wormer given orally to goats, the risk it carries makes me stay far away from it. But those who choose to use it should at least understand what they are drenching their goats with so lets examine what this product is..
Cydectin cattle pour on is designed as a pour for the thick Hyde of a cow..not the thin skinned goat, not as an oral medication..Just look at what it contains...
Contains 5 mg moxidectin per ml. it also has naphtha petroleum, light aromatic solvent; (Petroleum naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon liquid stream derived from the refining of crude oil.[1][2][3] It is most usually desulfurized and then catalytically reformed, which re-arranges or re-structures the hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha as well as breaking some of the molecules into smaller molecules to produce a high-octane component of gasoline (or petrol).) polypropylene glycol monomyristyl ether propionate: ( Propylene glycol is the third “product” in a chemical process beginning with propene, a byproduct of fossil fuel (oil refining and natural gas processing) and also found in nature as a byproduct of fermentation.) and isobutylene homopolymer Used as a sealant, an adhesive, a coating, and an additive to polymers and lubricating oils; Used to make butyl rubber with the addition of 2% isoprene; [Hawley] Used as a sticky substance to repel pigeons and other birds (Roost-No-More);
These things are to help the Moxidectin STICK to the cows thick hyde and be water proof ... Warnings are to wear goggles, gloves and dose in ventilated area.. So how does this harm our goats?? First off, as a pour on it wont help with internal parasites of goats, it does however have the potential to burn their skin. Next..as a oral medication, yes, it kill worms..FAST, so if your goat is heavy burdened with worms, the potential for mass kill off can cause toxicity from the dead worm load the body can not break down and flush fast enough..NEXT the mass kill can cause bleed out as the worms detach from its feeding spot..and finally if all that, and its smell, does not scare you just a little, Cydecten cattle pour on will coat the intestines of your goat as it would a cows hyde..which can interfere with nutritional absorption.
I know many use this. Many vets recommend it. And Yes, It works in most areas...that is not my purpose here. My purpose is to inform..know what you are putting in your goats...
I want you to know, We have other choices, cydectin sheep drench, cydectin injectable, Horse pastes. We have ivomecs and white wormers and we have herbs and ess. oils. We do not need to use this product internally in our goats. But if you choose to, know what you are giving....
