Drench resistance in cattle is on the rise. Internal parasites are an unseen thief of weight gain in dairy heifer and beef grazing systems – but at the same time there are farms getting excellent growth performance with reduced drench inputs. How are they doing it?
Topics
- Cattle worms and how they impact in your farm system.
- Improved methods for monitoring worms in young cattle.
- Drench product decisions – getting this right for your farm.
- Practical examples from farms making changes to grazing and management, and reducing their reliance on drench.
- A visit to Pamu’s organic dairy support block – where drench is ‘the last tool in the toolbox’ and replacement heifers still meet or exceed their weight targets – there is something to learn here!
