[QUOTE="BeefmasterB, post: 605205, member: 8931"] "The most important worm parasites reside in the stomach and intestine. They are nematodes and belong to a family called trichostrongyles. Throughout the U.S., and especially in the mid Atlantic and southern states, the most important member of this family is the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contortus). The barber pole worm is a bloodsucking parasite that causes anemia, leading to poor performance and frequently death. Bottle jaw is a result of H. contortus infection, but unlike other parasites H. contortus does not usually cause diarrhea." - Virginia Cooperative Extension Does the parasite control you use elimiate the barber pole worm? Bottle Jaw is also a symptom of Johnes' Disease. I would take at least one the cows, that display that symptom, to the vet and have it checked out as it could effect your whole herd. [/QUOTE]
