Fall Processing Recommendations for Your Weaning-aged Calves
So Dr. Tony Hawkins, tech service veterinarian at Valley Vet Supply, had a recent piece go out on fall processing recommendations for our weaning-aged calves.
He says, for this age group in the fall, I prefer an oral drench dewormer because it better controls parasites for this group based on some recent studies.
Next spring, he would recommend a pour-on or an injectable because it gets his ectoparasites as well.
He says the newest thing for deworming cattle is to use combination deworming methods where you give two different classes of dewormers at that time, such as you might give both a pour-on and an oral drench.
That's also a very effective combination to control parasites, lice, and flies.
