Show Notes

In this episode, Dr. Fred Gingrich discusses the issues associated with antehelmintic resistance in beef cattle with Dr. Christine Navarre. What are the risk factors for resistance? What is refugia and how can we select animals for treatment to minimize the risk of resistance? What is a strategic deworming protocol? How can we monitor success? If you are in cow-calf practice, this episode should be recommended to your clients so they can learn how to best utilize the expertise of their veterinarian in developing appropriate deworming protocols and total herd management programs. For more information, AABP members can listen to the presentation from the 2019 St. Louis conference from Dr. Navarre titled "New Era of Parasite Control."
