Worth remembering flukicides have no persistence. They will go in and deal with the present infection inside an animal but that is it. Also be aware that different products treat different stages of fluke, adult or immature, so won't necessarily clear the whole burden Photo APHA

Cattle naturally acquire immunity to gut worms while grazing due to continual exposure while out in the fields. In contaminated pastures - immunity to Cooperia needs 1 grazing season; Ostertagia immunity takes 2. Cattle on clean grazing may not acquire immunity #COWSAdvice

Ensure all new cattle are quarantined to reduce risk of introducing new parasites to the farm #COWSAdvice House-treat-test

Vets mainly talk about worms and wormer treatments with farmers on the phone (73% v 55% SQPs) while SQPs spend much more time speaking to farmer customers face to face (96% v. vets at 76%) #goodtotalk Results of survey carried out by @ProfJBMatthews

Who does this during winter?!? It’s that time of year again where poo picking has to be done with a head torch to keep on top of it! Poo picking is vitally important to managing worm burdens in horses. But it is just one aspect of management to maintain healthy horses. Test too!

Bought-in cattle and calves could introduce liver fluke onto your farm. Place in adequate quarantine - house and treat them. Take dung samples 2-3 weeks later to see if treatments have worked. If they have - let them out!
