Considerations for Deworming Beef Cows

Jason Banta, Associate Professor & Extension Beef Ca le Specialist

When it comes to deworming beef cows there are several

common ques ons that arise and should be carefully

considered. How o en should I deworm? When is the most

effec ve me to deworm? What factors should I consider

when choosing a product(s)?

The number of mes it is economically advantageous to

deworm cows depends on geographic loca on and annual

rainfall. In parts of Texas with higher rainfall, it is generally

recommend to deworm cows twice a year; in contrast once a

year is likely sufficient in lower rainfall areas. Producers in East

Texas should consider two strategic treatments per year for

beef cows: once in late May, June, or early July and again in

late November or December (Craig and Wiske, 1995). This

approach allows for the most effec ve control of both

cool‐season and warm‐season gastrointes nal nematodes (i.e.

worms), which are transmi ed during different mes of the

year (Craig and Wiske, 1995). It is also important to know that

strategic ming of treatment varies geographically because

transmission pa erns of gastrointes nal nematodes differ

between the southern and northern United States. If

producers in East Texas are only going to deworm once they

should focus on trea ng in late May, June, or early July.

Several factors should be considered when choosing an

anthelmin c (i.e. deworming product): applica on

considera ons, persistent ac vity, cost, efficacy, nematode

species controlled, label restric ons, and chemical family. The

two most common chemical families used today are the

macrocyclic lactones and the benzimidazoles (commonly

referred to as the white products). Macrocyclic lactones

would include: Ivomec, Dectomax, Cydec n, Eprinex, and Long

Range (Eprinex and Long Range contain the same ac ve

ingredient). Benzimidazoles would include: Valbenzen,

Synanthic, Safe‐Guard, and Panacur (Safe‐Guard and Panacur

contain the same ac ve ingredient).

Many of the macrocyclic lactones come in either an injectable

or pour‐on form. The pour‐on forms are especially handy for

the summer treatment since ca le can be treated in an

alleyway without catching them in a chute. When choosing

pour‐on products check the label to see if they are flammable

or impacted by rain as this may influence your product choice.

Addi onally, slaughter withdrawals can range from 0 to 48

days or more; products with 0 withdrawal are preferred from

a BQA and marke ng standpoint.

The macrocyclic lactones provide 2‐4 weeks of persistent

ac vity against some of the most important gastrointes nal

nematodes found in cows; in contrast the white products

typically don’t provide any persistent ac vity. However, it is

important to know that the macrocyclic lactones have limited

efficacy against Cooperia, a species of gastrointes nal

nematodes that can be a problem in ca le less than a year of

age. The white products are effec ve at controlling Cooperia

(Craig, 2007).

While everyone likes to save money, cau on should be used

when considering generic ivermec n products. Both research

(Yazwinski et al., 2004) and field observa ons have shown

reduced efficacy for many of these generic products.

In summary, many producers find one of the brand name

macrocyclic lactones to best meet their needs for deworming

cows and nursing calves. For weaned calves, stocker ca le,

and replacement heifers the use of a white product will also

likely be beneficial. The best deworming plan will vary from

opera on to opera on, so work with your veterinarian and

knowledgeable beef ca le experts to develop a successful

plan for your opera on.

Cherokee County Horticulture Newsletter

The push is on now to get vegetables in the ground. We have been abundantly blessed with rainfall. That means, hopefully, that we will have a bumper crop of all the yummy goodies we love to eat, but it also means we have a bumper crop of insects and disease to go with it. Keep the area around your gardens clean and mown and that will help a great deal.

Sow seeds of sunflower, zinnia, morning glory, portulaca, marigold, cosmos, periwinkles and gourds directly into the soil. Achimenes, cannas, dahlias and other summer flowering bulbs can also be planted in May.

Allow foliage of spring flowering bulbs to mature and yellow before removing.

Mulch, mulch, mulch! Yes, it’s that important! A good hardwood mulch will conserve water, keep down the weeds, and provide a natural source of plant nutrients.

Keep an eye out for spider mites on your vegetation. Hot dry summer conditions are prime time for infestations. Look for webbing between stems and leaves and also leaf discoloration. A good blast from a water hose to the underside of the leaves can help, but if you have a large infestation, you made need to spray them with something a bit more serious.

As miserably hot as it is in the summer here, July is the time to concentrate on the fall garden. Select good healthy tomato transplants, and aim for smaller fruiting varieties. They will fruit more reliably.

Take time to look over your irrigation system. Check the heads and the volume of output. A little water savings can go a long way during the summer’s heavy water needs, and maintenance can be a huge help.

Best Homegrown Tomato Contest A delicious part of TomatoFest!

“Some people,” says Alphonse Karr, “are always finding fault with Nature for putting thorns on roses; I always thank her for having put roses on thorns.”

So very excited to cultivate horticultural knowledge in a new location this Spring—Many thanks again to Spooktacular Bullbash for sponsoring bulbs to plant—Wells ISD Kindergarten and 2nd grade will be loving their new daffodil bed next Spring when it flowers. Rusk ISD Primary School headstart program’s spring garden is off to a strong start—tomatoes and squash are in the ground. I am so very thankful for the Cherokee County Master Gardeners and the teachers. Their heart for the kids helps make these fun times possible.

Growing the future of Agriculture—one child at a time.

Seed Swap Success!

February 5th yielded yet another successful Seed Swap. Over 50 par cipants stopped by the County Extension Office to par cipate. Many thanks to the Lonestar Military Farmers & other local growers for providing seeds & tubers for the swap. If you missed this year’s event, don’t fret—the Seed Swap is an

annual event held on the first Friday in February. See you next year!
