I just used the dosage on the bottle for my 3 boys. It seems to have stopped their itching pretty well.

It depends on the concentration in the solution. If I remember right my bottle said 1 cc/ 22 lbs.

I believe mange in goats is caused by mites. Here is a good link with the different kinds of mites & it talkes about mange & how to treat with Ivermectin.
