Dwite there are no listed does for goats on most wormers and its a know FACT that you give more to goats then any other animal. There is no conspiracy on the manufactures part in that area. That is all trial, error and knowledge. And the difference between cattle pour on and the sheep oral drench is obvious. Just as minerals in mixes come from different sources and methods such as sulfate vs. carbonate, there are distinct differences in the differ cydectin wormers. The oral sheep drench uses a much better delivery system to get the active ingredient into the animal and needs less of it. Much the same way selenium in mixes is usually sulfate based and is nearly impossible to cause toxicity even up to 180 ppm, while organic selenium starts to become toxic at just 3-5 ppm.
