These animals are dewormed at three to five week intervals for three or more times. Adult animals and nursing calves are dewormed once in the spring. Adult animals and young, post-weaned calves are dewormed in November. Routine fecal exams are used to monitor effectiveness. This plan would work well on farms of higher population densities and above average management.
Parasite control makes use of both deworming and appropriate management procedures.
Young, weaned cattle are dewormed in the spring beginning as soon as grass comes out. Deworming is repeated at three to five week intervals for three times. Also, young weaned cattle are dewormed in the fall as soon as grass begins to grow again. Deworming is repeated at three to five week intervals for a total of three or more treatments. Routine fecal exams are used.
