Abstract

Farmers manage their pastures and grazing animals primarily to ensure that swards provide adequate, quality nutrients to support animal performance, but it is also possible to provide useful levels of parasite control without compromising production. On cattle only farms the easiest options for the control of parasitic gastroenteritis in young cattle revolve around the avoidance of high risk pastures from July onwards. On many farms, silage/hay aftermaths that have not been grazed by cattle for 12 months or more can provide low risk fields on which cattle can thrive with minimal reliance on anthelmintics.
