[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1536950, member: 12607"] Dempster, As far as I'm aware, the recommended feeding rate for control of clinical anaplasmosis cases is at the 0.5mg CTC/lb BW/day level...ideally for the duration of the vector season (Apr - Nov, here in western KY). Feeding at the 2mg/lb rate, for 60 days or more has the potential to 'clear' the infection - in most, but potentially not all, cattle. Be aware that these 'cleared' cattle will once again be susceptible to infection and may develop clinical disease and die, should they subsequently be re-exposed. If some animals fail to consume adequate CTC, they may not 'clear', and may serve as a residual source of infection...if neighboring herds aren't already filling that niche. I'd not kept up with all the facets of the VFD regulations... I have no intention of writing one, unless I have to do one for my own animals... and I'd probably have to contact one of my younger colleagues to find out which feed mills will even fill one...
