Free Webcast: Anthelmintic Resistance

Bovine Veterinarian   |   Updated: November 30, 2011



Anthelmintic resistance in the U.S. cattle population was first identified in 2004 by the USDA. The 2009 National Animal Health Monitoring survey identified potential resistance in cattle in several states. Research has indicated a potential shift in the paradigm of parasites in pasture cattle with a new most prevalent pasture parasite identified. This webcast will educate to the paradigm and discuss the economic impact of parasites that have developed resistance to popular dewormers. New treatment protocols to manage parasite resistance will be discussed. The forum will be open to questions at the end of the presentation.

You'll learn about:
• Extent of Anthelmintic resistance in cattle
• Economic impact of resistant parasites
• Suggestions for future control

Who should attend: Anyone interested in learning more about internal parasite resistance
• Beef and dairy veterinarians
• Beef and dairy producers
