2 Parasite Control is the first step to improving animal health. Parasite Control is Necessary for Efficient Animal Production! Parasites are a major underling cause of many problems in cattle. One of the most important problems is the parasite s effect on the immune system. A seasonal deworming program is needed to prevent production losses on most operations. Parasites are a major underling cause of many problems in cattle including slow growth, poor feed conversion and reduced reproduction performance. One of the most important problems is the parasite s effect on the immune system. Using Science to Monitor Your Deworming Programs! All grazing cattle need annual dewormings, in most cases, at least two strategic treatments are required. Not all dewormers work due to parasite resistance. Fecal worm exams are the only way to determine if deworming is successful. 2
3 Nutrient Use by Beef Cattle Of all the nutrients an animal consumes, parasites get their share right off the top! Nutrients left over after the parasites get their share will be used by maintenance and then on down the list Hierarchy of Nutrient Use #1 Parasites #2 Condition #3 Breeding #4 Milk Production #5 Growth #6 Fetus development #7 Maintenance 3
4 PREVENTION IS THE BEST STRATEGY The Economics of Deworming Cattle is Changing! Where Are The Parasites? Economic costs of parasitism is changing. It takes fewer parasites to cause economic loss in highly efficient animals. Widespread efficacy problems with pourons and injectable endecticides are leaving parasite problems undetected. Only 1% are in the cattle While 99% are on the pasture 4
5 Worms eggs are like weed seeds contaminating the pastures. Larvae follow moisture trails & move away from mature pats 5
6 Infective stage L 3 larvae are mobile and move away from pat onto the herbage to be consumed. 6
7 Infective L3 Larva are protected with covering sheath. 7
8 Gastro-Intestinal Parasites 1). EGGS AND L3 LARVAE CAN SURVIVE ON PASTURES FOR ONE YEAR. 2). THEY SURVIVE PROTECTED IN THE SOIL, IN MANURE PATS OR UNDER A GRASS MAT. 3). THEY CAN SURVIVE SEVERE WINTER CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY WITH SNOW COVER. The Life Cycle Females produce eggs which pass in manure. Hatch in 7-10 days > 50 F Below 40 F development stops. Hatch into L 1, to L 2 and then L 3. Eggs & L 3 larvae over winter DIRECT EFFECTS : Anorexia Interference with digestion Increased gut motility Disruption of fluid and mineral homeostasis Effects of Parasites Parasites Derail Growth Suppress Appetite Dewormed Cattle Parasite-Infected Cattle 8
9 Parasites Interfere with Production! Effects of Parasites on the Immune System Parasites Suppress the Immune System! The level of immunosuppression is directly related to the parasite burden. Fast-acting dewormer is important in heavily infected animals if dewormed at vaccination time. 9
10 Results of Pathogen-Immune System Interaction Changes in Mass of Draining Lymph Nodes after Infection with Ostertagia Suppression of Specific Immune Responses - TH1 (intercellular response) vs. TH2 (extracellular response). Worm Burdens Promote TH2 Production which suppress TH1 Production. Example: Seldom observe coccidiosis in worm-free cattle.

New problem with serious economic consequences affects many species of parasites. Growing in magnitude - now worldwide problem!! Resistance will not get better only worse! Permanent Passed from one parasite generation to another. Once ML Resistance occurs further ML treatment will no longer provide acceptable efficacy. Increased product (i.e 2X) does not work. Cross resistance between all MLs. 11
12 Endecticides/Macrocyclic Lactones Avermectins Ivomec Ivomec Eprinex Dectomax Generic Ivermectins Moxidectins Cydectin Endectocide pour-ons: poor efficacy promotes resistance. Continued egg-shedding on pastures following treatment causes continued contamination. Parasites and their offspring that survive treatment by pour-ons are resistance to macrocyclic lactones. Producers are unknowingly experiencing production losses due to failure of pour-ons.

Animals in poor condition, some cow show extreme emaciation, soon cows began to die. 45 cows died altogether. Two cows were necropsied following treatment with Ivomec Pour-on and parasitism was diagnosed as cause of death. Dewormed in March (Ivomec PO), April (Ivomec PO,) May (Ivomec Injection), July (Eprinex), November (Dectomax) and December (Ivomec Plus). Animals remained in poor condition, some cow show extreme emaciation. 13
14 December, 2003 January-March, 2004 Merial sends Consultant (Dr. Ed Riche) to the ranch. Fecal samples taken 10-days post -treatment with Ivomec Plus shows high egg counts. Larval cultures indicate 65% Ostertagia, 26% Cooperia and 15% Trichostrongylus. All Cattle received Safe-Guard Medicated Cubes in early January and again in March. Parasite Resistant Problem Solved! 14
15 Intact Fecal Pats Pastures observed to have high numbers of intact fecal pats. Dung beetle activity possibly low due to extensive use of Ivomec Pour-on. Research shows that dung beetles help destroy parasitic larvae in fecal pat. High numbers of intact fecal pats indicate high larval challenge on pasture which led to the death of adult cows since ivermectin was no longer working. 15
16 Dung beetles are an important part of the pasture ecosystem. 1. Increased pasture yields by incorporation of organic matter into the soil. 2. Reduction of insect pest populations. 3. Prevention of pasture surface pollution. 4. Reduction of animal diseases by removing contaminated feces. 5. Return nutrients to the soil that would otherwise be tied up in fecal deposits. 6. Increased effective grazing areas of pastures covered by feces. 7. Reduced nitrogen loss in livestock feces.

Overall, resistance to ML Pour-on and Injectable products appears to be getting worse. 19
20 Summary Summary (cont.) The widespread development of parasite resistance is a very serious problem for cattle producers. To solve this problem producers need to know whether or not dewormers are working. Resistance will not improve but rather only get worse! Combination of a macrocyclic lactone plus Safe-Guard at key times will prevent parasite resistance. Key times are at arrival in feedlots, at weaning, incoming stockers and for late fall strategic treatment. Use Safe-Guard only for spring-time strategic dewormings. Combination Advantages Ability to rapidly remove parasites with Safe-Guard. Synergistic effect on different species of parasites Safe-Guard better on Intestinal parasites such as Cooperia, Trichostrongylus, & Nematodirus Avermectin s good for Inhibited Ostertagia, Lice, & Grubs Four Large Scale Feedlot Combination Trials 10,381 total cattle Evaluate the effect of Safe-Guard with Ivomec Pour On or Ivomec Injectable vs Ivomec PO Dectomax Injectable Ivomec Injectable Cydectin Injectable 20

23 How Does Strategic Parasite Control Work? GOAL is to prevent pasture contamination during the first days of the grazing season. Timing is Everything! Strategic deworming is key to parasite control on pasture. Mid-Spring dewormings break the cycle on pasture. Yearling cattle need more aggressive deworming schedule than brood cows. Final treatment in late fall or early winter. 23
24 First make sure cattle are parasite-free at the beginning of the season. How? Deworm in late fall or early winter with a combination of Safe-Guard and a pour-on (for lice control) or Safe-Guard at turnout. Second: Treat cattle strategically with Safe-Guard in Spring after grazing but before new worms begin shedding. How? Use Safe-Guard in a formulation that works for your operation, i.e., in the feed, blocks, cubes, mineral or drench. Don t use an ivermectin type product (macrocylic lactone) in the spring (after the first of March) because of the dung beetle!

26 Advantages of Fenbendazole Non-Handling Formulations Cumulative dose properties. Flexible feeding period. Dose can be spread over 3-6 days. Mix in free-choice mineral. Mix in feed or top-dress. Palatability (no taste/smell). Safe in varied consumption situations. Drench or labor-free administration. Highly effective against major cattle worms. 26
27 Designing a Program in a Give Dairy Operation First determine the approximate level of parasitic contamination 1. High Parasite Contamination Level Cows grazing pasture during lactation When rotational grazing is practiced 2. Moderate Parasite Contamination Level 4. Extremely Low Parasite Contamination Level Cows grazing pasture only during dry period Cows with access to an exercise lot (with some grass) Cows in total confinement. Cows on a concrete dry lot. 27

Visually determine chance of parasite exposure based on management conditions. Cattle need exposure to bedding, dirt pens or pasture for parasite exposure. Confirm observation with fecal worm egg counts to determine where infections are present in an operation. 28
29 Combination Deworming Program Deworm all animals in late fall. Beginning in the spring, deworm cows in transition or at freshening. Deworm heifers twice in the spring four weeks apart after turnout. MidAmerica Ag Research Donald H. Bliss, Ph.D. Veterinary Parasitologist Verona, WI 29

Choosing the type dewormer based on parasites found. Choosing the type dewormer based on category of animals needing deworming. Determine whether external parasites are a problem as well. 32
33 Fenbendazole FBZ remains a very important product to producers. Only deworming product in cattle that has maintained a high level of efficacy. Safe-Guard has maintained a 98% efficacy against all nematode parasites. Special efficacy against Monezia and Taenia tapeworms, whipworms, Nematodirus and protozoan Giardia 33
