Alpacas are increasingly kept as hobby and pasture animals. Unfortunately, alpacas are highly susceptible to worm infections. To keep them healthy, good worm management is essential. With the right preventive measures, you can avoid many problems. In this blog, we explain how to prevent worm infections in alpacas.
Effective preventive measures
To prevent worm infections in alpacas, you can take the following steps:
Only deworm your alpaca if manure testing shows it is necessary. Unnecessary deworming leads to worm resistance, which can endanger your alpaca’s long-term health. At Worm&Co, we always provide a tailored treatment recommendation based on the test results. This way, your alpaca’s health comes first and resistance is prevented.
