I was wondering about using a product such as Imovek(sp?) when cows are in gestation, I wanted to treat them for any parasites before pasture season(which is still a ways off here in southern Ontario), I do have a product called "Dri-kill" as well, I am asking if it is safe to use these products when cows are carrying calves. I have not seen any signs of lice or any other pest problem but there are pests that they could carry internally, cows seem healthy at the moment, just looking for prevention....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Michael, Usually there is a restriction written on the label if an anthelmic (wormer/parasite control agent) is not to be used for pregnant cattle. There is also usually an 800 phone number you can call to ask for more info. Take a look at the label and see.

Mike

Here in Manitoba's Interlake a lot of cattle producers treat their cows with Ivomec or Dectomax as they come in off pasture in the fall. No problems with cows being pregnant. Personnally I also treat new calves with Ivomec and the Pfizer Gold shots in May, just as they go out to pasture.

Michael: I presume you are more concerned about parasites that lay their eggs under skin and mostly on backs of cattle. I know here our northern climate, now it the time to determine the presence of these pests. The eggs would already have been laid, and by now you should be able to feel these by running fingers along the cattle's backs. Most will be within 6" of the spine.

As far as being much help, I feel close to 15 years has me out of touch. I can remember there were products, that couldn't be used on pregnant or milking cattle. I have a feeling that diagnol cable device you see in pastures, designed so cattle can just about rub any part of their body, is still the most successful way of controlling these pests. The cattle do it themselves when eggs are being laid. Those have a resovoir on top for solution and cable is covered by a wick. Those devices still dot the pastures of Ontario. Best consult someone in the know, then drive down to Western Fair show this week and buy one of those devices. I'm sure some exhibitor will have them. Just go armed knowing more than the vendor.

Hi Hugh, I have one of those "Oilers" in the barn ready to go. I understand some guys mix a little diesel fuel with the "meds" and let the cattle rub it on themselves via the canvass wick . I'll check with the vet about those chemicals and pregnant cows. Thanks..Mike in Exeter Ontario

I use one of the generic ivermectins (Ivomec being one version). When they first came out I used them prior to turn out in the spirng and again in the fall. Now, after consulting with lots of research vets, I use them 1x per year in early July plus when anything new comes on the farm. Synergistic benefit is they control flies for about 30 days. All my cows will be in gestation when these are used.
