Ken Myer wormed
his heifers for years,
saw dramatic
improvement, and
figured it would be a
good idea to cut the
drag of worms in his
lactating cows.
“I thought I’d try
worming my milk
cows with TBZ®.
I figured animals that have worms will not
produce as much as ones without worms.
Well, I know the cows I’ve wormed so far
arc producing more than if I
hadn’t wormed them ”
Ken M\er milks 60 Red
Hohtems at Elizabethtown, PA.
Worming them with TBZ is pan
of routine management
“I worm before freshei
“Before freshening is wl

worming, the cows peaked higher and
held on longer. And a pound or two more
milk a day makes a big difference over a
lactation.”
“Worming with TBZ is simple”
“I use pellets containing TBZ. I open the
bag and topdress it on some dairy ration in
front of the cow, about 10 days before she
freshens. It’s very simple.”
Should all dairymen worm their cows?
Says Mr. Mycr, “I’ve read for years that
over 90% of all cattle have worms. I'
. believe it!”
