New Merck Film On
Cattle Worm Problem
A new film which takes a
close look at factors that de
termine a cattle giowei’s le
turn on his investment is now
available from Merck & Co,
Inc, Rahway, N. J
Entitled “Where It Counts,”
this sound and color film runs
for 22 minutes It brings into
sharp focus the problem of gas
trointestinal roundworms,
which aie estimated to cost the
cattle industry in Amenca
some $lOO million a year, far
moie than losses horn foot
rot, shipping fever, and scorn s
combined, the company stated.
The film cites studies which
indicate that eight out of ten,
feedlot cattle, regai dless of
ongin, aie infected with
roundworms On the lange or
in the feedlot, roundwoim in
fections cause slower giowlh
and poor use of feed and make
the host animal easier prey for
other diseases
“Wheie It Counts” thiows a
spotlight on four commeicially
important but often undetected
roundworms and their life cy
cle, showing how this form of
parasitism persists on such a
widespread basis
Techniques for detecting
roundworms in cattle are pie
sented in the film, in addition
to suggestions for establishing
effective woinnng progiams
Among other films available
from Merck is “Winning the
Worm War,” a 25-minute,
16mm sound and color film on
roundworm parasites of sheep.
