If your calves have a low exposure level it may not be necessary to use dewormers at all.<br /><br />If diagnostic support is available, before using dewormers I recommend fecal sampling to establish both the types of worms present and their concentration. <br /><br />In situations where there a pasture "seasons" it is generally recommended to use wormers when turning heifers out in the spring and to worm again when they are brought off pasture in the fall.<br /><br />Generally, wormers are available in both injectable and pour-on forms.<br /><br />Coccidia are an entirely different parasite problem than worms. Coccidia-specific medication must be used.<br /><br />SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101115411412417175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405521823962376971.post-55367822732719118212014-02-06T06:59:21.197-08:002014-02-06T06:59:21.197-08:00Great Sam!!!
