Cattle Dewormer & Fly Control

Calves spend a great deal of energy growing, and many factors can influence their overall health and rate of gain. An internal or external parasite load can negatively impact their performance and growth. Providing routine deworming and fly control methods help keep parasites in check and nuisance flies at bay. Leedstone offers multiple deworming options for calves and fly-control products for livestock and premise usage.

Deworming products are available in multiple forms such as pour-on, injectable, oral, and feed-through. Making the option easy for the producer to choose which methods works best for their calf operation.

Nursing calves have an increased risk of internal parasites and scheduled deworming is vital to their growth and performance. Deworming can be done at three months of age for nursing calves (late June for calves born in the spring) or calves six to eight weeks post pasture turnout. Early and strategic deworming supports improved weaning weights. External parasites such as lice and flies are not only downright annoying, but they transmit diseases such as pinkeye. They also cause irritation, blood loss, decreased grazing efficacy, and reduced weaning weights. Leedstone offers multiple options to combat external parasites. Dust bags, backrubbers, insecticide ear tags, topical sprays, pour-ons, and feed-through larvicide which are all viable options. Consult your veterinarian for guidance on which wormer and protocol works best for your farm. Leedstone is ready to support your herd with the products you need.
