Internal parasite infestations in cattle have been showed to reduce feed intake, weight gain, feed efficiency and animal’s ability to fight disease.1,2,3 This is why it is important to help reduce the worm burden both in animals and on pasture through strategic deworming.
Browse our options to treat parasitic infections in cattle due to lung worms, stomach worms and intestinal worms†.
†Lung worms: Adult and 4th larval stage of Dictyocaulus viviparus; Stomach worms: Adult and developing 4th larval stages of Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia ostertagi and the adult stage of Trichostrongylus axei; intestinal worms: Adult and developing 4th larval stages of Cooperia punctata, C. oncophora, C. pectinata, C. mcmasteri, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Nematodirus helvetianus, Bunostomum phlebotomum, and Oesophagostomum radiatum.
