Abstract

Anthelmintics are an important tool in the feedlot industry. The goal of this review article is to provide the veterinary practitioner with a short summary of the important aspects of internal gastrointestinal parasite control in the feedlot. A review of economically significant gastrointestinal nematodes and the bovine liver fluke is provided, along with a discussion of treatment options and an anthelmintic efficacy assessment. Important aspects unique to the feedlot environment are addressed, including anthelmintic resistance and combination anthelmintic therapies.
