So why are we choosing to worm now, when we didn’t this spring? What changed? Besides the obvious, what were we still missing?
Now even though we were excited about the Coccidiosis results we shared with you in a previous blog Cocci?....Crap!, we still ended up with a worm problem. This one however we have had issues with twice before, so we knew we would have to worm – but Nematodes again?

Ok, every ones’ herds get worms from time to time. There are things you can do to limit your herd’s exposure, but regardless of how you handle it, sometimes worming just isn’t enough. Sometimes prevention is the only key.
We’ll be honest, we don’t worm unless we have too. In the past 8 years we’ve only wormed twice. Both times due to some nasty Nematodes. Both Coccidiosis and Nematodes can cause havoc to the unsuspecting and both have high chances of re-infection if not handled correctly. Sometimes worming just makes things worse. Sometimes worming just isn’t enough. So let’s talk about our experience this spring, what we didn’t do and what we did do. |
