Overall strategic objective:
Allow replacements to attain maximum growth
and development to reach breeding size
unhampered by parasites.
Maintain heifers as parasite-free, to prevent
infection of the milking herd.
Maintain control measures for all cows exposed
to any parasites
Allow lactating cows to attain maximum
lactation potential possible with their genetics
and nutrition.
Avoid wasting deworming dollars on cows in
late lactation, dry or already parasite-free
