================
Many use garlic as a dewormer; especially those who sell organic meat. 

>From what I have read it seems to really work; but, perhaps, that is in

areas where worm loads are low anyway.  Try searching on the Internet for
more information.  I don't use it for deworming, but it sure is good with
some rosemary on a lamb roast.  There is a discussion on sheep-l about
using pumpkin seeds and there was a research test done; however, the
results of this test and any others are inconclusive and the value of
pumpkin seeds as dewormers is still not determined.
