10UT OF 3 DAIRYMEN
ARE WORMING THEIR
HEALTHY-LOOKING COWS.
SOON ITU BE I OUT OF 2.
*■ - <>
More and more profit-minded dairymen
are convinced their healthy-looking, high- -
producing herds are infected by worms. 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-Freshening Cattle
Wormer, can help pay off.

Knowing is believing
Once the facts are known, it isn’t hard to
believe that 9 out of 10 herds have worms.
Or, why milk losses can be high. Or, why a
worm-control program can pay for itself
many times over.
