The annealing between the primer and the. target gene is an equilibrium reaction, and the annealing reaction proceeds with a smaller Î´G (see lower right. Figure on the previous page). 2.3 GC content. Primers are designed so that their GC content is between about 40% to 65%. Primers with GC content between 50% and 60% tend to give relatively good primers. 2.4 Secondary structure. It is important, particularly for the Inner primer, that primers are designed so that they do not form secondary. structures.
Kids are dewormed the first time at one month of age at Onion Creek Ranch. Deworming kids at an earlier age won't hurt them, but it is a waste of time and money, because they don't begin to eat significant amounts of solid food until they are about three weeks old.
What I do, when I deworm, is put the goats I am going to worm, in a stall with no outdoor access. Deworm them and keep them in there for two days. They potty all the worms dead or not in the stall and I muck it out and put it on the compost heap. Which they have no access to. have goats that hardly ever need worming and some that I have to worm every four months or so to keep them healthy. I often grazed ponies behind the goats on opposite rotation on our fields to vaccum up parasites as goats and ponies donât share many of the same parasites. Then deworm the ponies in their stalls.
