The correct method for deworming cattle

　　The correct methods for deworming cattle include scientifically scheduling the timing, selecting the right medication, performing procedures according to standards, and implementing strict management.

　　How do you determine the timing for deworming?

　　Regular frequency: Deworm pets 3–4 times per year, once each in spring and autumn (March–April and September–October). In areas with a high prevalence of parasites (such as humid regions in southern China), the frequency can be shortened to once every two months.

　　Special herd of cattle:

　　Calves: Administer the first deworming treatment after weaning, and give another dose at 5 months of age.

　　Cow: Deworm 2 months before mating or during mid-pregnancy, and avoid deworming within 2 months after mating and 2 months before calving.

　　Newly purchased cattle: Deworm 7–14 days after entry.

　　Don't make any mistakes in the operating steps.

　　Route of administration:

　　Injection: Ivermectin must be administered by subcutaneous injection (in the neck or shoulder); intramuscular injection can easily lead to poisoning.

　　Oral administration: Fast the cattle for 12 hours before mixing with feed, ensuring they finish the entire portion in one feeding.

　　Surface spraying: Directly spray onto the cow’s back, avoiding wounds.

　　Dose control:

　　Ivermectin: 0.2 mg/kg body weight (subcutaneous injection).

　　Albendazole and Ivermectin Powder: 1 kg of the powder is mixed with 1 ton of feed.
