Effect of fenbendazole on cow-calf performance and fecal egg counts

Kuhl, Gerry L.; Ridley, R.; Francis, E.; Riat, L.
A field trial was conducted with 80 cow-calf pairs to evaluate the effect

of deworming both cows and calves with fenbendazole, on cattle performance and

internal parasite burden. Midseason and weaning weights of calves in the

fenbendazole-treated group averaged 22.4 and 33.5 lb heavier (P<.04), respectively,

than controls. Cow and calf fecal egg counts were low throughout the grazing

season and were not materially affected by treatment.
