DOES MY HERD HAVE A WORM PROBLEM?

SIGNS

1. Poor growth and/or milk production
2. Poor body condition, hair coat or fleece
3. Lethargy and lag behind the herd
4. Scouring/diarrhea
5. Reduced appetite
6. Pale mucous membranes
7. Bottle jaw
8. Sudden death

With limited choices of dewormers available and resistance of some parasites to our dewormers, it is a good idea to submit fecals from your herd to our lab to assess the parasite load on your farm.  If the worm burden on your farm is low, deworming may not be necessary.  If the worm burden on your farm is high, we can target the parasites on your farm and assess the effectiveness of the dewormer.  If you have any questions concerning the parasite load on your farm, please do not hesitate to contact us!
