2006 Agricultural Chemical Use Estimates for

Dairy Cattle and Dairy Cattle Facilities

Overview: The agricultural chemical use estimates in this report are based on data compiled from

the 2007 General Dairy Management Survey. This survey was a cooperative project between the

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and the National Animal Health Monitoring

System within the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Data collection for the

survey began in early January 2007. The 17 Program States in the survey account for approximately

91 percent of the milk cow inventory in the United States, based on the January 2007 Milk

Production release published by the United States Department of Agriculture’s National

Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS). Dairy cattle inventories are reprinted in this report

from a previous NASS release for informational purposes.

This report provides insecticide use information on dairy cattle and dairy facilities in the 17 selected

States. The States surveyed were: California (CA), Idaho (ID), Indiana (IN), Iowa (IA), Kentucky

(KY), Michigan (MI), Minnesota (MN), Missouri (MO), New Mexico (NM), New York (NY),

Ohio (OH), Pennsylvania (PA), Texas (TX), Vermont (VT), Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), and

Wisconsin (WI). All data refer to the on-farm use of chemical active ingredients contained in

insecticides which were applied during the 2006 calendar year. Insecticides are defined as chemical

products used for the control of insects. Insecticides are applied to dairy cattle and dairy facilities to

control mange/mites, lice, flies, grubs, and other external pests.

Chemical usage on dairy cattle are provided on a rate per head per application and rate per head per

year basis. Some dairy cattle received no chemical applications in 2006, whereas, other dairy cattle

received multiple applications of the same chemical. In yet other cases, dairy cattle received

applications of several different chemicals. The number of times a chemical was applied varied

significantly based on product formulation, method of application, and pest stress at particular

locations. The rate per head data cannot be used to calculate the actual number of head treated with

a particular chemical.

Some active ingredients, such as petroleum distillate, piperonyl butoxide, and xylene are primarily

carriers, diluents, synergists, or repellents. These active ingredients are classified by the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as pesticides, and are therefore included in this report.

This report excludes pharmaceutical products that treat dairy cattle for internal pests. A

pharmaceutical is classified as a drug and is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

Pharmaceuticals generally target internal livestock pests such as viruses, bacteria, or worms. Some

products can be classified as either a pesticide or a pharmaceutical because they treat both external

and internal pests. Examples of dual purpose products are Doramectin and Ivermectin. These

products can be applied to dairy cattle internally through oral dosage or injection, or applied

externally as a pour-on.

Insecticide use information on chemical applications made to dairy facilities is also included in this

report. For survey purposes, milking parlors, pens, drylots, stalls, hutches, sheds, and barns are

examples of dairy cattle facilities. Only those chemical applications that were made to the facilities

and structures for the control of insects and pests were included. Herbicides, termite chemicals,

disinfectants, and sanitizer applications are excluded, as are all rodenticides.

2006 Dairy Cattle and Dairy Cattle Facilities

Agricultural Chemical Use

All Dairy Cattle: Agricultural producers applied a total of 174,000 pounds of insecticides to dairy

cattle during 2006 in the 17 States surveyed.

The insecticides most commonly used on dairy cattle during 2006, based on total pounds applied,

for all Program States were Piperonyl butoxide, at 44,800 pounds, followed by Permethrin, at

42,300 pounds. Tetrachlorvinphos (Z-isomer) was the third most commonly used active ingredient,

with 37,600 total pounds used during 2006 in the States surveyed. These three active ingredients

accounted for 72 percent of the total pounds of active ingredients applied to dairy cattle.

The agricultural chemical usage data in this report were summarized based upon the percentage of

active ingredient included in an insecticide product. In order to publish data for an active

ingredient, there must be a minimum of 5 reports for the specific active ingredient at the summary

level (by State or all Program States). In cases where there are not enough reports to publish usage

data for a given active ingredient, a list of active ingredients and the States in which they were

applied appear on page 22 of this publication.

Of the total chemical applications made to dairy cattle during 2006 in the 17 selected States,

58 percent were made as pour-on applications, 28 percent were made using a sprayer, and 4 percent

used dust bags or hand dusters. Ear tags, rubbing devices, and various other methods of application 

accounted for the remaining 10 percent of applications made to dairy cattle.

Of the total chemical applications made to dairy cattle during 2006 in the 17 Program States,

59 percent of the applications were to control flies, 23 percent for lice, and 9 percent were for

mange/mites. All other pests accounted for the remaining 9 percent.

All Cattle Facilities: In the 17 Program States surveyed, a total of 149,100 pounds of insecticide

were applied to dairy cattle facilities in 2006. Imidacloprid had the highest total quantity used at

27,500 pounds. Cyfluthrin had the second highest quantity used at 25,300 pounds followed by

Piperonyl butoxide at 22,700 pounds. These three active ingredients accounted for 51 percent of

the total pounds of active ingredients applied to dairy cattle facilities.

Application data for active ingredients which have 5 or more reports will appear in the Program

States or individual State tables. In cases where there are not enough reports to publish usage data

for a given active ingredient, a list of active ingredients, and the States in which they were applied,

appear on page 23 of this publication.

Of the total chemical applications made to dairy facilities in the 17 Program States in 2006,

24 percent were made to the milking parlor, 18 percent were made to tie stall/stanchion, 17 percent

were made to freestall barns, 13 percent to calf hutches, and 9 percent to individual or multi-pens.

Survey Procedures: The estimates in this report are based on the 2006 National Animal Health

Monitoring System (NAHMS) General Dairy Management Report conducted in January 2007, in

the 17 Program States. This survey was based on a sample of pre-screened operators reporting dairy

cattle on the 2006 January Cattle survey. Enumerators collected a variety of information including

insecticide applications to dairy cattle and dairy cattle facilities for respondents’ entire operation. 

Data were collected in the State where the operation’s headquarters was located.

Estimation Procedures: The chemical applications data, reported by product name or trade name,

are reviewed within States and across States for reasonableness and consistency. This review also

compares reported data with manufacturers’ recommendations and with data from other farm

operators using the same product. Following this review, product information are converted to an

active ingredient level. The chemical usage estimates in this publication consist of survey estimates

of those active ingredients.

Estimates of the total amount of active ingredient applied are based on the number of dairy cattle on

hand as of January 1, 2007 published in the annual NASS report “Cattle Report” [Mt An 2 (2-07)]. 

The estimates for total amount applied will not be revised even if there are subsequent inventory

revisions. Detailed data within a table may not multiply across or add down due to independent

rounding of the published values. 

Reliability: The survey was designed so that the estimates are statistically representative of

chemical use on dairy cattle and dairy cattle facilities. The reliability of these survey results is

affected by sampling variability and non-sampling errors.

Sampling variability is a measure of how the estimates would differ if other samples had been

drawn. The sampling variability expressed as a percent of the estimate is called the coefficient of

variation (cv). Sampling variability of the estimates differed considerably by chemical. In general,

the more often the chemical was applied, the smaller the sampling variability. For example,

estimates of use of a commonly used product, such as Ivermectin, will exhibit less variability than a

more rarely used product.

For more commonly used chemicals, cv's range from 10-65 percent at the U.S. level. Some rate

items could have cv’s above 100 percent. Those items which have an insufficient number of reports

for publication are noted on pages 22 and 23 of the publication.

Non-sampling errors occur during a survey process, and unlike sampling variability, are difficult to

measure. They may be caused by interviewers failing to follow instructions, poorly worded

questions, non-response, problematic survey procedures, or data handling mistakes between

collection and publication. In this survey, all survey procedures and analyses were carried out in a

consistent and orderly manner to minimize the occurrence of these types of errors.

Terms and Definitions

Active ingredient: The specific chemical which kills or controls the target pest(s). Usage data are

reported by pesticide product and are converted to an amount of active ingredient.

Agricultural chemicals: The phrase, “agricultural chemicals,” refers to the active ingredients in

pesticides.

Application rates: The application rates refer to the average weight of a pesticide active ingredient

applied to a volume of product. For this survey, rate per application is the average number of grams

applied in one application. Rate per year is the average number of grams applied counting multiple

applications.

Carrier: An inert liquid, solid, or gas added to an active ingredient to make a pesticide dispense

effectively. A carrier is also the material, usually water or oil, used to dilute the formulated product

for application.

Common name: The common name is an officially recognized name for an active ingredient. 

This report shows active ingredient by common name.

Diluent: Any liquid or solid material used to dilute or carry an active ingredient.

Dips: Dips are used to eradicate or effectively control parasites. The most common method used to

control parasites are through the use of dip vats. Dip vats are used to ensure that the animal is

thoroughly covered to prevent the transmitting of the disease.

Drench: Drench treatments for livestock are formulated as pastes to be applied orally with a readyto-use syringe.

Drylot: An enclosed, unpaved area where the animals can move about freely and where they can

feed along a feed apron, except during milking. 

Dust Bags/Hand Dusters: Dusts can be applied to animals by hand shakers or in self-treatment

dust bags. Dust bags are most effective when used in forced-use situations especially where cattle

have to pass under them daily to get to water or feed.

Ear Tags: Ear tags and plastic devices can be impregnated with an insecticide. These ear tags are

usually used for ear tick and horn fly control. 

Feed and Mineral Pesticide Additives: Certain pesticides may be administered as feed or mineral

additives. Feed additives are used to prevent the development of fly larvae in animal feces. Feed

additives target fly maggots breeding in fresh animal manure by controlling certain fly species

whose maggot stages occur in animal manure.

Feed Apron or Feed Bunk: A paved or hard surface along one side of a drylot where feed is

provided to the animals.
Agricultural Chemical Usage 2006 Dairy Cattle and Dairy Facilities Summary Agricultural Statistics Board

May 2007 25 NASS, USDA

Freestall Barn: A barn where animals are managed in individual open stalls and are free to roam

around. The animals can move about freely.

Injectables: Pesticides applied by subcutaneous injection. Some injectables control internal

parasites with added benefit of external control.

Loafing Area: A resting area for cattle. Loafing sheds are structures that have at least one side

open to the elements. This three-sided loafing shed offers protection from flies, summer sun, winter

wind, rain, and storms. This type of structure is also known as a run-in shed.

Milking Parlor: A facility where lactating cows are managed before, during, and after milking.

Pesticides: As defined by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA),

pesticides include any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying,

repelling or mitigating any pest, and any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a

plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant.

Pour-Ons: Pour-on insecticides are formulated for direct application to the backlines of animals. 

The chemical is absorbed through the skin and circulates through the animal’s system.

Repellent: A pesticide used to keep target pests away from a treated area by saturating the area

with an odor that is disagreeable to the pest.

Rubbing Device (Backrubber, Face Rubber): Backrubbers are another method of insecticide selftreatment for cattle. Cattle bothered by insects rub against devices soaked with insecticides.

Backrubbers are placed where animals move to and from, such as between watering areas and

pasture.

Spot-Ons: Spot-on pesticides are easily applied. This method involves applying a small amount of

pesticide with specially designed applicators in a single area or ‘spot’ on the backlines of animals.

Sprays: Emulsifiable concentrates, or soluble formulations are usually used with smaller sprayers. 

Animals are usually sprayed with enough solution to cover the animal thoroughly. 

Stanchion: A stanchion is a specially designed headgate to hold an animal in place while allowing

feeding and resting.

Synergist: A material which exhibits synergism; that is, the joint action of different agents results

in an effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

Tie Stall Barn: A barn where animals are confined to stalls or stanchions and each cow is

individually tied with a strap or chain. 

Trade name: A trademark name given to a specific formulation of a pesticide product. A

formulation contains a specific concentration of the active ingredient, carrier materials, and other

ingredients such as emulsifiers and wetting agents. Some formulations, as in the case of pre-mixes, 

can contain more than one active ingredient.
