Organic dewormer for cattle?

Question

Can anybody tell me what a good organic dewormer will be for cattle and calves.

Answer 1

a wad of tobacco

Answer 2

The best organic dewormer for cattle or horses would be tobacco. Prior to modern veterinary sciences, the old farmers and mule skinners in the Southern and Midwest states would treat their stock to two hand fulls of dry tobacco in a gallon of corn or oats.twice yearly. Dichotomous earth is an inorganic substance, but works well also. It is similar to ground glass and cuts the worms as an abrasion..

Answer 3

According to the National Organic Standards Board, diatomaceous earth (DE) has proved successful for many dairy farmers as a preventative measure in healthy cattle. He suggests mixing the DE with grain mix for pastured cattle at a rate of 8 to 10 pounds per ton throughout the grazing season. For heavy infestations conventional therapy is recommended. Ivermectin is the only conventional (synthetic) paraciticide that is cleared with the National Organic Program for use as a dewormer, and only in breeding stock, not lactating or feeder animals.
