Abstract

Dipping on arrival at most feedyards is a common practice, used not only to safeguard cattle from the external parasites (lice, ticks, mites) but is economically mandated by the packers to control grubs and by the USDA-APHIS for scab control. The only two dips I think you should consider are Coumaphos (CoRal) or Prolate (GX-118).
