[QUOTE="Chapin81, post: 1641022, member: 39180"] Hi everyone, I was just watching a YouTube vid and it was mentioned that invermectin kills the soil, micro fauna, dung beetles, everything else down there that the grass and soil Need for growth, Is it true?? Is there a substitute, can I eventually stop using it with the cows as they get older? Is it really necessary to apply this? We usually inject them with it and apply it every six months when the vet comes over and gives the cattle a bunch of vaccines. Usually our cattle get thin because of lack of feed(dry months) Diarrhea is uncommon, if we do see it it’s usually with grass that is new growth and I’ve been told it’s because of the nitrogen levels not parasites, that’s what causes the diarrhea. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
