Spring is the time of high incidence of parasitic diseases in beef cattle, so timely deworming measures are essential to ensure the health and productivity of beef cattle. Here are the key points of spring beef cattle deworming:
1. Choose the right anthelmintic drug.
When choosing anthelmintic drugs, comprehensive consideration should be made according to the flow of local parasites and the specific conditions of beef cattle. Commonly used anthelmintic drugs include praziquantel, avermectin, ivermectin, etc. Before using the drug, care should be taken to check the shelf life and production date of the drug to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the drug.
2. Determine the time of deworming.
Spring is the peak period for parasite reproduction and infection, so beef cattle should be fully dewormed before the start of spring. At the same time, during the spring, supplemental deworming should also be carried out in a timely manner according to the growth of beef cattle and parasitic infection.
3. Preparation before deworming.
Before deworming, the beef cattle should be checked to ensure that they are in good health and free from other diseases. At the same time, the barn should be cleaned to keep the environment clean and hygienic to reduce the breeding and spread of parasites.
Fourth, the method of deworming.
1.Oral anthelmintic drugs: Mix anthelmintic drugs into feed or drinking water and let beef cattle ingest on their own. This method is simple and easy, but it is necessary to ensure that the drug is evenly mixed into the feed or drinking water to avoid missing or overdosing.
2.Injection of anthelmintic drugs: Inject anthelmintic drugs into the body of beef cattle to achieve a rapid deworming effect. This method requires a professional to ensure that the injection site is accurate and the dosage is appropriate.
5. Observation and care after deworming.
After deworming, the reaction of beef cattle should be closely observed, and possible adverse reactions should be detected and dealt with in time. At the same time, the feeding and management of beef cattle should also be strengthened, sufficient nutrition and clean drinking water should be provided to promote the recovery and growth of beef cattle.
6. Evaluation of deworming effect.
Some time after deworming, beef cattle should be retested for parasitic infections to assess the effectiveness of deworming. If parasitic infections are still found, remedial measures should be taken in time to ensure the health and productivity of beef cattle.
In summary, spring beef cattle deworming is an important measure to ensure the health and production efficiency of beef cattle. By selecting appropriate deworming drugs, determining the deworming time, making preparations before deworming, adopting appropriate deworming methods, strengthening the observation and care after deworming, and evaluating the deworming effect, the occurrence of parasitic diseases can be effectively prevented and controlled, and the production and economic benefits of beef cattle can be improved. At the same time, feeding management should also be strengthened to improve the immunity of beef cattle and reduce the occurrence and spread of diseases.
