Check Heifers
For Internal Parasites
Dairy heifeis which have spent
the winter months in “commun
ity-type” pen are often infested
with internal parasites
This type of housing provides
ideal conditions foi parasites to
multiply As a result, heifers
with only light infestations last
fall may now cairy sufficient
numbers of parasites to senous
ly affect their growth
If heifers are heavily infested,
they cannot maintain noimal
giowth rates legaldless of the
amount of feed they are given.
The pioblem becomes more
senous if the pasture feeding
progiam is less than adequate
Before heifers are turned out
to pasture, each gioup should be
checked for internal parasites.
The procedure is simple and in
expensive
A small, composite sample of
dropping from each pen of heif
ers should be taken to a veteri
narian for examination The
number of paiasite eggs ob
served in the droppings will in
dicate the amount of infestation.
Treatment, if needed, before
heifers are turned out to pastur
heifeis are turned out to pasture
will help to insure normal growth
Some Agricultural Chemicals
Should Be Kept Separated
Pesticide products should not
be stored with or neai seed, feed
and food products
Contamination of one pesticide
pioduct with another should be
avoided, for example weed kill
ers (herbicides) should be sep
, arated from insecticides and
fungicides.
Stored pesticides should be
checked at regular intervals to
make sure that then containers
have not developed leaks.
Keep all pesticides in a locked
cabinet, away from access by
children. Follow mstiuctions on
label regarding precautions,
safety, and storage suggestions.
Keep pesticides in original con
tainers. Empty containers should
bt burned or buried so that chil
dien or livestock cannot get to
them.
