Discover gut worm & lungworm control in dairy youngstock. Learn about diagnosis, treatment, and managing wormer resistance for healthy herds. #DairyFarming"

It is important not to forget the potential parasite burden in adult dairy cows – gut roundworms can significantly impact milk production, especially in high-yielding dairy cows, if they are grazed or fed fresh grass. Learn about gut worms in adult dairy cows.

Chanelle Pharma is adding a new wormer active ingredient to its cattle anthelmintic range. Doramax pour-on contains doramectin and is available in three pack sizes, all automatic drenching gun-compatible.

Here, we look at were doramectin broadly sits among the other cattle worming ingredients available on the market currently.

We commonly hear from farmers who're concerned that they've dosed their cattle and the animals are still coughing, or even coughing harder. This most typically happens with clear wormers, and is as a result of worm material being expelled.

Here we look in more detail at dairy cows' immuntiy against lungworm and what exactly a high Ostertagia ODR reading means in practical terms.

We look at lungworm larvae as a cause for coughing in cows this season and in addition, examine what Ostertagia ODR readings from bulk milk samples mean.

Dairy dry off dosing is the topic for this week's Farm Health First vlog. Ciarán outlines some simple regimes based on a farm's fluke risk. Albex 10%, Tribex 10%, Animec Pour On and Rumenil can all be worked into a dosing plan.

A common complaint in the second half of the grazing season, Ciarán looks at why mature cows might be dirty or scouring at the moment and offers some advice and fixes.

We commonly hear from farmers who're concerned that they've dosed their cattle and the animals are still coughing, or even coughing harder. This most typically happens with clear wormers, and is as a result of worm material being expelled.

This week we look at macrocyclic lactones, more commonly known as clear wormers. What is special about these products versus yellow and white wormers? How do we use them properly while ensuring we build the animal's own natural immunity?

We are often told by dairy farmers that they routinely worm cows during the year, regardless of whether symptoms of parasite infection are present or not, and immediately see lifts in yield. Why is this?

There are three wormer classes for use in cattle; white (BZs), yellow (LVs) and clear (MLs). Each class has its own attributes and limitations when it comes to dairy farms.
