Nursing Calf Deworming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Historically, the predominant health problem worldwide for ruminant animals has been the presence of internal parasites (Armour, 1980; Borgsteede and Burg, 1982). The continued use of anthelmintics, or dewormers, remains controversial among researchers because there is wide variation among results when these products are used on cattle with moderate to low levels of parasite infestation (Ward et al., 1991). It is clear, however, that with any level of infestation above moderate, dewormers provide almost immediate responses and improvement in animal health and performance.

Effect of Anthelmintic Treatment on Nursing Calf Performance
The objective of this study was to determine if deworming nursing calves prior to weaning would increase calf weaning weight. A total of 568 calves from three different locations were randomly assigned to either a deworming treatment (doramectin injectable) or control (no treatment) 90 d prior to weaning. Dewormed calves had greater body weight gain prior to weaning compared to control calves. ...
متن کاملInternal parasite levels and response to anthelmintic treatment by beef cows and calves.
Albendazole (methyl 5-propylthio-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate) was used as an anthelmintic in a 3-yr study involving 578 beef cows and 438 nursing calves. Infection levels for nematodes, coccidia, and tapeworm were relatively low throughout the 3-yr period. Eggs per gram of feces in cows and calves were lower (P less than .01) 2 wk posttreatment but were not different 5 mo later, when calves...
متن کاملA Note on Suckling Behavior and Laterality in Nursing Humpback Whale Calves from Underwater Observations
We investigated nursing behavior on the Hawaiian breeding grounds for first year humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) calves. We observed and video-documented underwater events with nursing behavior from five different whale groups. The observed nursing events include behaviors where a calf positions itself at a 30-45° angle to the midline of the mother's body, with its mouth touching her ma...
متن کاملPerformance and nursing behaviour of beef cows with different types of calf management.
The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of calf management during lactation on dam performance and nursing behaviour. Thirty-six multiparous beef cows (aged 7.5 ± 0.52 years) of Parda de Montaña breed (mean live-weight (LW) at calving 566 ± 9.3 kg) with a moderate body condition (mean 2.6 ± 0.02 on a 1 to 5 scale), were assigned to three nursing frequencies from the day after part...
متن کاملSubcutaneous mycosis presenting as a non- healing left calf ulcer in an immunocompromised patient.
This is a case report of subcutaneous mycosis presenting as a non-healing left calf ulcer in an immunocompromised patient. Traumatic inoculation of the causative agent is the most likely route of infection. The diagnosis requires a detailed history and high clinical suspicion, confirmed by histopathological examination. The management requires a multidisciplinary team approach involving surgeon...
