Organic cure for Barber's Pole Worm

New research from the University of Florida might have found an inexpensive solution to a severe problem that is plaguing goat farming, which ranks as the fastest growing segment of the U.S. livestock industry.
Adegbola Adesogan, a professor of ruminant nutrition in UF's Animal Sciences department, led a study that has shown that ground papaya seeds can effectively combat the barber's pole worm that has invaded goat ranches in the southeast U.S. and much of the rest of the world.

Very interesting, and it would be wonderful if this really does work. Worth trying a few papaya varieties at home until they finish their testing. It would be wonderful if they could roll out a commercial supplement etc. What news!
