[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1786607, member: 17524"] Even most vets don't have the proper equipment to diagnose internal parasites. They need what is known as a Wisconsin spinner to find the parasites and eggs. Most vets use a machine for dogs. Using your own microscope is not going to do the job. Strategic deworming is what is recommended. It's a different time in different areas. We are in the north so strategic deworming is done 6 weeks after turn out. That cleans up the worms in both cows and calves and cleans up your pastures too. We've run a lot of fecals on customers cattle and they do have parasites. Even in dry country. We recommend deworming in the fall when their is no chance of the ground warming up. Temperature and moisture propagate worms. What we have found ,without exception, that the YOUNGER cattle tend to be more parasite infected than the older cows. When you do deworm, deworm them ALL or the ones you didn't deworm will re-infect the ones that were. I did a quick search and found this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://beef-cattle.extension.org/how-often-and-when-do-i-need-to-deworm-my-cattle/[/URL] I hope this helps. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
