Abstract

The importance of gastrointestinal parasites in young cattle on pasture is well established, with clinical signs of nematode infestations commonly observed during the animals' first grazing season. The impact of these parasites in mature animals is less certain. Adult cows with exposure to pasture will harbour worms, but will usually not display the clinical signs seen in younger stock. There is, however, some evidence of increased milk production in lactating animals following anthelmintic treatment.1
