Drench group resistance investigation uncovers problems with worm egg count reliability

摘要

AVictorian producer demonstration site has highlighted the importance of strategic worm control for southern beef producers. The Mackinnon Project Beef Group PDS was facilitated by the Mackinnon Project and is made up by about 16 producers mostly running spring calving herds producing 400-450 kilogram steers at 14-17 months of age. These producers have gradually intensified productivity of their beef cattle enterprises with the objective of increasing profitability Key contributors to production increase have been increased pasture growth and utilising more pasture by increasing stocking density to increase beef production per hectare.
