When you bring new animals onto your farm, you do not want to bring on any drench-resistant worms that may be lurking within. Therefore, you should “quarantine drench” all new alpacas to minimise introduction of drench-resistant worms.<\/p>\n

Instead, drench all animals with one drench, then drench all animals with the next drench etc. Make sure every animal swallows every oral drench.<\/p>\n \u2013Dose to heaviest animal in the group if all animals in group a similar size, or weigh and dose individually. Make sure drench guns are delivering the correct dose.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2013Do not forget to treat for liver fluke if animals sourced from flukey area.<\/p>\n Quarantine alpacas after treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013Hold alpacas in yards or secure paddock for 3 days<\/p>\n \u2013Provide adequate feed and water<\/p>\n \u2013Keep this paddock free of alpacas\/sheep\/goats for 3 months in summer or 6 months when cooler<\/p>\n \u2013For long-acting drenches check again at 6 weeks + larval culture<\/p>\n When you bring new animals onto your farm, you do not want to bring on any drench-resistant worms that may be lurking within.
