Deworming techniques of cattle

Due to grazing and contact with the ground, cattle are often infected with a variety of parasites in vivo and in vitro, such as Haemonchus contortus, nematode and esophageal nematode in the digestive tract of cattle; cattle are easily infected with mites, ticks, lice, flies, maggots and other in vitro parasites. These parasites absorb nutrients and release toxins, hindering the growth and development of cattle, reducing daily gain by 35% and feed conversion rate by 30%. Bovine skin maggots more than double the skin price, which can cause death when the parasite is serious.

Cattle farmers can be dewormed twice from March to May in spring and from September to October in autumn, and fattening cattle should be dewormed at the beginning of fattening.

There are many kinds of bovine deworming drugs, such as levamisole and trichlorfon, but the anti-insecticidal spectrum is narrow and the effect is not satisfactory. Afortin is the first choice for deworming, and it is a broad-spectrum, high-efficient, low-toxic and new type of anti-parasite veterinary drug developed and produced in recent years, which can simultaneously dispel nematodes in livestock and poultry and parasites such as mites, ticks, lice and maggots in vitro.

If cattle farmers do not have enough veterinary skills, they should also keep in touch with local veterinarians to do a good job in epidemic prevention and treatment.
