[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1849334, member: 25884"] Well, I will have to differ some... we had some cows with small fall calves that all of a sudden looked terribleand they were getting corn silage a couple times a week in the silage wagon ...got them in the headlocks in the silage wagon and I took an AI sleeve on 6 and got manure samples from each one... 2 in good flesh, 2 a bit thin and 2 really looking poor... we went on and poured on ivermectin while they were caught up just as a precaution... Then took the samples to the vet the next day... and they were not marked which was which and I didn't tell anyone the condition of the cows... just told the vet's office that we had some thin cows and were concerned and wanted to do fecals... He called me the next day... and said well, you definitely have some worm problems... he said 2 samples were not bad, 2 samples had alot of eggs and 2 were really really infested... and I said well we went on and used pour on while we had them locked up just because.... he said that is what he would have done and especially since he ran the fecals... I then told him that I took samples from 2 in good flesh, 2 that were a little thin and 2 that looked like death warmed over... and that they had suddenly gotten like that in less than a couple weeks... In 3 weeks they looked like different cows... and the samples showed next to no eggs in the fecals samples... and except for the 2 worst cows... which I specifically resampled... the other 6, that I took this time.... I have no idea if I resampled the same cows or not... so the pour on DID a very good job for us.... and of the 2 that were really thin/bad... I don't know which sample belonged to which cow... just that those 2, I stuck in one pocket of the jacket... and the other 6, I stuck in the other pocket... but they were not marked with individual cow #'s... We do not regularly worm our cows... but this year they are all getting wormed.... all with pour on.... as they come off the trailers at the pastures at turnout... between the wormer and the fresh green grass, it ought to go through them pretty good.... and clean them out if they need it... I think that last few years there just wasn't enough cold and no amount of snow, to knock the worm populations back... and since we do not worm regularly, the wormer has hit them pretty hard because there is no resistance to any of it... Just our latest experience... [/QUOTE]
