Strategies for Targeted and Selective Pest Control Treatments in Dairy Cows

Generating knowledge to develop strategies for targeted and selective pest control treatments in dairy cows

An epidemiological study of the milk response after treatment has shown that strongylicide treatment of dairy cows should be targeted during the stabling period .

An epidemiological study of post-treatment milk response has shown that strongylicide treatment of dairy cows should be targeted during the stabling period (and not used on pasture) and that three simple indicators - the level of anti-Ostertagia antibodies in the tank milk, the grazing history of the pre-herd and the parity of the animal - make it possible to select herds and animals that respond to treatment and to reduce systematic treatments that are not indicated.
