Worms
Gastrointestinal nematode parasites is the correct
terminology for what is commonly referred to as worms.
Gastrointestinal nematode parasitism is one of the most
important production-limiting diseases of cattle in New
Zealand.
Internal parasites can be thought of as 'silent thieves' as
the loss in production caused by parasitism often goes unnoticed.
Gastrointestinal parasitism can be classed as either clinical or
sub-clinical.
Clinically affected animals are easy to identify as they
show more obvious symptoms including illthrift, scours, anaemia and
weight loss. It is the subclinically affected animals which pose
the greatest challenge to farmers as they are more difficult to
identify generally with slower decreases in weight gain. While
clinical parasitism may be associated with losses in cattle, it is
the subclinical animals bearing low levels of infection which
result in the greatest economic losses.
Cattle are treated for gastrointestinal nematode parasites
by either pour-on, injectable or oral anthelmintic products, the
choice of product is normally decided by weighing up effectiveness,
ease of use, cost, reliability and available product
support.
