[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1455178, member: 12607"] Bigfoot, Several papers and trials I've seen recently put a combination treatment of oral oxfendazole(Synanthic) and injectible Cydectin right up there as being as effective, with regard to weight gains, etc. as LongRange... for less than half the cost. It's what I'm doing on my weaners and first-calf heifers now. By all means, spend the extra few cents to use the 'name-brand' products... it'll pay $$$ in the long run... what good does it do if you save a few cents... but the stuff doesn't kill the worms? I've seen too many studies showing that the generics - even though they may meet the stated chemical analysis - do not perform like the 'pioneer' product. As stated numerous times before, I'm not a fan of the 'pour-ons'... evidence is strong that they don't work as well as advertised, and most of what gets to where it needs to be to kill worms gets there from ingestion - cattle licking themselves & herdmates...if it runs off on the ground or gets washed off... it ain't gonna kill any worms. J&D - we try to vacc 'em before weaning, but the past couple of seasons, it's ended up that they get a dose of Inforce-3 and One-shot BVD when the quiet-wean nose blabs go in, then a booster of Bovi-Shield Gold 5, 10-14 days later when we pull the blabs and separate 'em from the cows. Newer info is now suggesting - at least for BRD prevention in stocker calves, that a booster with second dose of Inforce-3 is probably better than Bovi-Shield Gold, and sets 'em back less... and that's what we did this go-round.
