Show I— Tlw Herald JwnNil Lopi Utah Wednesday ‘Invisible Thieves’ Can Rob Cattlemen April 23 IMS An apparently healthy steer may have as many as 50000 unseen mouths to feed according to a Merck and Co Inc veterinary researcher The extra mouths belong to one of four species of parasitic roundworms which constitute a $250 million annual problem for the U S cattle industry The Merck scientist Dr Robert Kilgore made his observations during a seminar on parasite control held in Dallas Texas The seminar was one of a series of educational sessions being held by Animal Health Products department of Merck Chemical Division for key management and sales personnel of farm supply and veterinary products distributors throughout the country Placed end to end the roundworms in the “healthy-lookin- g steer" postulated by Dr Kilgore would stretch over 520 feet “And there would be 96 hungry mouths to every foot" he said Largely Despite the seriousness of the roundworm problem it has gone largely unrecognized until now Dr Kilgore said He summarized g areas of findings of 93 field tests made in all major the country reporting that treatment with the warmer Thibenzole' advantages averaging 136 pounds per day produced weight-gai- n per day per animal Since almost every test was conducted among calf showing no visible signs of parasite infection he said “it seems to have been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that cattle will produce significant routine worming of healthy-lookin- g weight gains an an overall basis" His conclusion was fortified by a second study of 800 beef and dairy herds in various part parts of the U S The study showed that 94 per cent of the herds were infected with roundworms Eight out of 10 of the individual' animals were found to carry roundworm burdens that had been unsuspected before testing Can Be Costly The "invisible thieves" as he characterized roundworms can cost up to 36 cents a day in feeding a single parasitized calf He cited an example from one research project which showed a roundworm burden in a representative calf costing 42 pounds in 11 cents a day in terms of weight during a 2'a month period-so- me market value Inefficient feed conversion amounting to an extra three pounds of rations per pound of animal adds another 5 cents to 25 cents per day to the cost of feeding worms instead of cattle “For a herd of 100 head" Dr Kilgore said that would mean a profit loss to the catutman of between $1200 and $2700 during that 24 month two-da- y Unr-cognix- SH jV! iI'k TO - cattle-producin- CL'- period" “While he's wondering where the profit is going" Dr Kilgore said “it's disappearing down the throats of millions of roundworms" he The four “big destroyers” among cattle roundworms asserted are: Haemonchus the Large Stomach Worm Ostertagia the Medium Stomach Worm Trichostrongylus the Small Stomach Worm and Cooperia the Small Intestinal Worm four “Mg EXTRA MOUTHS TO FEED-T- he Haemonchus the large stomach worm (upper Ranging

thieves gone tiny untreated until relatively recently The Merck spokeman advocated that cattlemen adopt parasite control programs aimed at breaking the roundworm life cycle plus regular worming with
