For the final part of the special series, ‘Getting Winter Ready’, Natascha Meunier from Animal Health Ireland is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss ‘Health at Housing’.

As always, there are liver and rumen fluke, lice and mites, and going in to housing, gutworms or lungworm (hoose) might still be problematic.

Natascha says to be particularly careful about lungworm as it has been ideal conditions over the last few weeks.

She outlines the products for treating worms and fluke and says the product is very important, particularly when it comes to performance over the winter.

Immature flukes keep growing and affect the animal’s performance, so Natascha advises that you might need to go in again a number of weeks later with the same type of product, or you could use a product that targets the younger life stage of the parasites.

Natascha then discusses the products to be used for biting and sucking lice and she also outlines the importance of a health plan for purchasing cattle on the farm.
