These include roundworms, liver flukes, tape worms, and single-celled para sites. All kinds of internal para sites can be economically signifi cant and lower profit potential.

Reduced pasture contamination can result from the pasture being vacated for several weeks in summer for hay production, being grazed exclu sively by older dry cows for sever al weeks, harvested cropland or rested pasture planted in annual forages, and frequent, extensive treatment with dewormers.” Hough also said that careful use of broad spectrum dewormers have significant benefits to help reduce parasite losses in cattle, whether roundworms or other in ternal parasites. The primary pur pose of dewormers is to reduce levels of pasture contamination, not to cure sick animals. “Be certain to apply dewormers at recommended rates and al ways follow label directions,” Hough said. “More is not always better.” Hough emphasizes that you cannot eliminate all parasites, but control can often be cost-effective and increase the potential profits from your herd. The local extension office or lo cal veterinarian can provide addi tional information about parasite control.
