On November 17th, we went to the farm and used Ivermectin Parasiticide on the cows. Ivermectin Parasiticide is for internal and external parasite control. It is in one application and is a part of endectocides. It protects the cows from Gastrointestinal Roundworms, Lungworms, Cattle Grubs, and many other parasites. Gastrointestinal Roundworms lay eggs that are microscopic in the manure of the cattle. When the cattle graze, they can ingest the eggs and the Gastrointestinal Roundworms can mate in the intestine and reproduce in the intestine. Lungworms are spread through fungus. It is a parasite infection that develops in the respiratory tract. They are easily obtained in the summer and the fall. The cows experience difficulty breathing and coughing. Cattle Grubs are the larvae stage of Heel Flies. The flies can either bite or sting the cattle. They attach their eggs to the hair of the cattle. They can lay up to 600 eggs and those eggs can hatch in four to seven days. The Cattle Grubs go into the skin, causing the animal severe irritation. After going into the skin, they go through the connective tissue. The Ivermectin Parasiticides's dose rate in 1 mL for each 22 pounds of body weight. It is extremely important to protect cattle against these parasites.
