Abstract

Several reports indicate a positive relationship between weaning weights of beef calves and treatment of beef cows and/or calves with anthelmintics. This study was conducted to determine the effect on the weaning weight of calves when North Dakota beef cows and their calves were treated with fenbendazole. This study involved two calf crops in four different herds over a two-year period (1988-1989).
