Prohibit Dewormer

Prohibit: The Big Guns!

There are a few types of worms in goats that other dewormers have little success in destroying.

Prohibit® Soluble (levamisole hydrochloride) is a broad-spectrum oral dewormer for cattle and sheep (and used off label for goats by many) effective against stomach worms, intestinal worms, barberpole worms and lungworms.

HERE'S WHAT SOME WHO USE PROHIBIT FOR SPECIFIC WORMS HAVE EXPERIENCED AND PERHAPS IT CAN HELP YOU:

"Prohibit Great Goat Wormer"

This is a great wormer for goats....In the South we fight Barberpole worms constantly...this will get them...You have to mix it a little stronger for goats...I mix one pack with 12 oz's of water and give 1 cc per 25 pounds...it works great at that strength for goats...well this is what works on my farm....

"Herd Saver"

I'd been dealing with a barberpole problem for 9 months when I tried this, results were seen in less than a week fecals showed major reduction in worm count! Just wish I had used it sooner. 3 months after treatment and the goat fecals are reading great.

"Lung Worms"

Great wormer for coughing goats! Cleaned em up they sound much better with no coughing going on!

"Best Dewormer for Barberpole Infestation"

Will never be without a packet of this on hand and ready to mix. Kills barberpole worms like nothing else on the market.

NOTE: Prohibit is a strong dewormer. Be very careful when dosing. DO NOT GIVE TO PREGNANT DOES. Also, the unused portion may be stored for 3 months (unrefrigerated) or 4 months refrigerated.

Prohibit Soluble Drench Powder (will be labeled for Sheep): (Note that this drug is also sold as Levasol and Tramsiol).

How to Mix Prohibit: This solution is prepared by dissolving one 52 gram packet in 1 quart (943 ml) of water. This yields a solution with 49.6 mg/ml. If dosing kids, it is safer to dilute further (1 packet in 2 quarts of water), and then administer twice the amount listed on the chart. The larger volume administered will then provide a wider margin for safety if there are small errors in dosing. I purchase 2 packages of Prohibit, mixing 1 package for adult goats in 1 quart of water and mixing 1 package for kids (less than 1 year old), with 2 quarts water. Then clearly label each jar of Prohibit you have mixed as: Adult or Kids. Also, label with the expiration date in clean closed containers up to 90 days unrefrigerated or 120 days refrigerated (mark expiration date on container and do not use an expired mixture). I use canning jars to mix and store the Prohibit mixture.

When you dose a goat with Prohibit, ALSO give adults 1 injection of 2cc B-12; kids .5 cc

Repeat in 3 weeks.

It may be purchased online (Jeffers or ValleyVet) and at many Feed Stores such as MFA
