<strong>Farmer</strong> <strong>Parasite</strong> <strong>Control</strong><strong>What</strong> <strong>can</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>do</strong>?
<strong>Farmer</strong> <strong>Parasite</strong> <strong>Control</strong> Determine drench resistance status of <strong>you</strong>r farm A<strong>do</strong>pt “Best Practice” regarding parasite control

FEC caution Adult abomasal worms and FEC- reasonable correlation in Autumn ??- no correlation in Spring Zero FEC <strong>do</strong>es not mean no parasites Positive FEC = parasites but no indication oftotal numbers
Cost Determining Farm Status <strong>Control</strong> and treatment groups – samplecollection, lab fees & interpretationapprox $1300 per group = $3900 Moxi treated group sacrificed due to WT asresult off label useapprox $500 / deer x 6 = $3000 Total Cost approx = $7000
“Cheap & Nasty” option based oncrude estimate. No <strong>Control</strong> Moxi treatment groups only – sample collection, lab fees &interpretation = $1300 Moxi treated group sacrificed due to WT as result off label use$500/deer = $3000 Total Cost approx = $4300 Only 4 deer and only count adult parasites = $2800 Limitations – zero result = ? Pretreatment parasite burden- some parasites = likely resist but not quantified
