DAIRYMEN:
IT’S A FACT: chances are better
than 9 out of 10 that your herd o
slick, high-producing cows is
infected with roundworms. Here
are five more facts you should
know about worms, the product
losses they can cause, and how
to help stop them with TBZ; the
prefreshening cattle wormer.
FACT I—Most wormy cows “look
healthy” because they eat enough to feed
the worms AND to keep themselves
looking good. University, Extension and
other scientists have proved over 90
percent of all cattle are wormy, even in
cold, northern climates.
FACT 2—Worms can cut production,
even in top herds, by as much as 400 to
500 pounds pei- head per lactation...shown
in trials in Wisconsin, Vermont and
other daily states. liii
FACT 3—One out of four d

more are beginning every year.
FACT 4—Worming each cow with TBZ
before she calves lets her begin lactation
clean, and helps make peak production
possible all through lactation.
FACT S—TBZ is a one-close, one-time
worming treatment available in
paste, bolus, suspension-and pellet forms.
At the stanchion or in the calving
pen, TBZ makes worming each cow
3 she freshens simple, easy, quick.

The committee was'
selected to help draft a
proposal for a referendum
which, if approved by the
majority-of Pennsylvania’s
dairy , producers, could
become an effective
statewide milk promotion
marketing order.
Names of committee
members finally were made'
public on Wednesday, a
month after the Committee
was scheduled to hold its
first meeting.
Each of several dairy co
ops and farmer
organizations was allowed to
nominate members to the
committee. Those chosen
