Farm animal worming

Deworming in cattle, sheep and goats

Lung worms

Animals that are grazed for the 1st time are particularly susceptible to lungworms, as they have not yet been able to develop antibodies against these parasites. In the fall, these animals are conspicuous for their shaggy coat and lung problems. An oral vaccination before grazing can prevent lungworm infestation.

Stomach/intestinal nematodes

Especially animals that are grazed for the 1st or 2nd time are susceptible to these parasites. They have poor feed conversion, poor weight gain and may develop diarrhea. The greatest worming occurs in early summer and fall. Worming can be prevented by long-acting parasite boluses. Unfortunately, a large number of worms are already resistant to the active ingredients in these boluses. Another possibility is the autumn treatment with newer active substances which are poured over the back as a pour on preparation. If possible, the animals should not get wet for 24 hours. There are also preparations that are injected. We will be happy to advise you which medication is the most suitable for your stock.

Large liver fluke

The large liver fluke is found in wetlands and forest edges, as it needs the dwarf mud snail for its development. After ingestion with the grass, it migrates in the body from the intestine to the liver, where it eats its way through the liver for several weeks until it attaches itself to the bile ducts. During its migration through the liver, sudden health disturbances can occur with reduced appetite, fever, and loss of milk. Once in the bile ducts, the cow is chronically ill. The broken liver cells can no longer perform their function, which can lead to ketosis (acetonemia), poor milk and fattening performance, and even fertility problems. If liver flukes are found in the slaughterhouse, the liver is discarded as inedible.

Prophylaxis: drain damp pastures or fence them out. Targeted deworming is possible, but must always be carried out. We are happy to advise you on a targeted strategy.

A large worm infestation can lead to diarrhea and even death in sheep of all ages. Lambs are most severely affected when they come to pastures already infested with worms in spring. The highest worm burden is expected in June and fall. Blood-sucking abomasal worms cause severe blood loss, resulting in white mucous membranes and laryngeal edema. If these animals are not dewormed immediately, they die. Resistance to the benzimidazole group of agents is widespread, so we recommend that these agents no longer be used. There are other good preparations for injection or peroral administration. The frequency of deworming depends on the herd structure and the pasture situation. Likewise, it may be useful to determine the degree of worming in the herd by fecal examination. The basic rule is: as little as possible and as much as necessary.

We will be happy to advise you. To prevent resistance, you should always deworm after the animals have been moved to a new pasture. For goats the same applies as for sheep. However, goats show symptoms of disease only when they are already very bad, and often any measure is then too late. Therefore, regular worm control through fecal examinations and targeted deworming is essential for goats.
