Nematode control in suckler beef cattle over their first two grazing seasons using a targeted selective treatment approach

Abstract: BackgroundWith concerns over the development of anthelmintic resistance in cattle nematode populations, we must re-examine our approach to nematode control in cattle. Targeted selective treatments (TST), whereby individual animals are treated instead of entire groups, are being investigated as an alternative. The study objective was to determine if anthelmintic usage could be reduced using a TST-based approach to nematode control in spring-born suckler beef cattle over their first and second grazing seasons (S… Show more

“…Elevated pepsinogen levels occur from around 2–3 weeks as young adult worms emerge from the gastric glands (Jennings et al., 1966, Ritchie et al., 1966). All these traits have shown promising outcomes for the success of TST in practice (Greer et al., 2010, McAnulty et al., 2011, Höglund et al., 2013, O'Shaughnessy et al., 2014a, O'Shaughnessy et al., 2015a, O'Shaughnessy et al., 2015b), therefore relationships for these traits had to be defined within the model.…”

“…The same 3 determinant criteria were investigated, with the addition of a group of calves treated according to a combination of FEC and pepsinogen, as this strategy has been investigated in the field (O'Shaughnessy et al., 2014a, O'Shaughnessy et al., 2015a, O'Shaughnessy et al., 2015b). Available literature was used to define threshold values for each determinant criterion.…”
