It's important to consult with a veterinarian for advice on worming bottle calves. They can determine the best deworming schedule and products based on:
* Calf's age and health: Different ages and health conditions require different worming protocols.
* Local parasite prevalence: The types of parasites in your area will influence which wormer is most effective.
* Previous worming history: A veterinarian can advise on whether the calf has been adequately wormed in the past.
* Calf's overall management: Factors like housing, diet, and exposure to other animals can influence parasite risk.
Here's why it's important to work with a veterinarian:
* Incorrect worming can be harmful: Using the wrong wormer or dosage can be ineffective and potentially harmful to the calf.
* Resistance development: Overuse of deworming medications can lead to parasite resistance, making them less effective in the future.
* Accurate diagnosis: A veterinarian can diagnose internal parasites and rule out other health issues.
Please consult with your veterinarian for specific recommendations on when and how to worm your bottle calf.
