Worm&Co is the expert company specialised in worm research in alpacas and llamas. Studies show that many animals are dewormed unnecessarily. This harms your animal’s health and accelerates the development of worm resistance. To prevent resistance, it is important to perform worm research before deworming.
It is important to carry out worm analysis frequently (4 times per year). This way, you build a clear record and gain insight into your alpaca’s or llama’s susceptibility to worms. In addition, it helps you keep control over your worm management. On this page, you will find tips to keep worm management optimal, prevent worm infections, and reduce infection pressure.

That is why one of the most important tasks to prevent infection is to remove manure piles from the pasture. To work as effectively as possible in preventing worms, it is smart to follow the following 8 tips:
