Even in cold northern states. They’re convinced that worms can slow growth of young stock and delay maturity of heifers. They’re convinced worms cut milk produc tion in their milkers. What makes them think so? Large-scale trials, demonstrations, and experiments in Wisconsin and elsewhere have shown how widespread and damaging worms really are. The figures are convincing (Data on request.) - More dairymen are worming because they are learning about worms: how they repro duce and do damage, and how worm control with TBZ'®, the Pre-Freshenmg Cattle Wormer, can help pay off.
