I know someone that has used Oregano Oil for parasite control for many years with goats and it has worked perfect

[spacecase0]

says they put drops of it on the feed before giving it to them,
think this is the brand that is used nowfoods.com/essential-oils/oregano-oil
and it is pretty hard to get more than about 20 to 40 drops out in a reasonable amount of time from the bottles
they are not really sure how much they put in...
so based on what they say, I would think about 4 to 5 drops per goat

if I am using it on myself, I only have about 2 drops twice a day,
but I also dilute it some with another oil if I am having it so that I can manage to eat it
and it sure works for me at that dosage level

If you read the study, it says 2 of the 4 farms weren't that pleased with the results.
It also stated one of the farms had so few animals that the results, although "positive" were statistically insignificant.

The other two farmers Nan Kennedy and Yvonne Taylor did not observe as much success with the test
animals. It is possible that specific factors affected the results on these farms.

Until they do a long term large study, I wouldn't risk my animals by using it.

The dosage they used was 2 Grams per 100 pounds, far more than "a few drops".

I read that it can be poisonous if over dosed. It's so hard to sort things out on the internet.
