Store mixture in dark, cool place.

Numerous uses. Goats off feed, dehydration, pregnancy toxemia, stress, kidding difficulties, weak kids. Takes longer to metabolize.

Good to use to get a doe through the night.



MASTITIS
1.Antibiotics

2.Peppermint oil ~ Rub on infected udder area. Can be rubbed ALL OVER entire udder. It's also good for circulation and can make them increase their milk production.

3.Heat Packs - to place on the infected udder

PREVENTION *
To help prevent occurences with Mastitis - keep the goat pen area clean and when milking -keep the udder free of debris and sanitary. Wash the udder before milking and use a teat dip after milking. Mastitis is usually caused by bacteria/germs. So by keeping the area/udder clean - that will help to prevent mastitis.
Mastitis can also be caused by injury.


MISCELLANEOUS

1.Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)--place in water to help acidify the urine and also will help decrease algae in the container

2.Iodine 7 %- to dip navel cords in . Helps to dry it up. Some folks dip the newborns hooves in it, and also after hoof trimming.

3. Lavender oil- cure all.
You can apply it to itches, wounds, bug bites, etc. and it will help. Great for snake bites, too. Don't get it around the eyes, though, it will burn as all essential oils.
It also helps calm the goat. It may increase milk production from calming the goat/s so they use more energy for making milk than getting excited. Rub it in along their back, on their ears, and even between the toes. Any of those spots works. An essential oils diffuser would work great, too.


N



NUTRI DRENCH (make it yourself)
