  1. Eggs produced by females Passed in manure Larva develop in fecal mass L1 hatches, feeds on bacteria, undergoes two molts L3 makes way out of feces onto forage Ingested Develops to L4, to immature adult After maturation, starts producing eggs Prepatent period is appx 3 weeks Occasional hypobiotic periods (RARE) Weather dependent (shown in Great Britain study, cold then warming to 10 C with moist environment needed to hatch.
  2. Fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) – eggs/gram at pretreatment levels versus those 10-14 days later. For practical purposes, a 90% reduction suggests successful treatment and &lt;90% reduction may indicate resistant parasites, ineffective dose or route of administration. Egg count concerns – &lt;200 epg are usually considered ok if BCS is also normal. If epg is rising, animals have poor bcs or other signs of ill thrift, it is possible treatment may be helpful. Epg significance is much lower when considering low or intermittently shedding parasites like trichuris, capillaria, nematodirus, or emac (even low numbers may warrant treatment).
  3. Not ideal to blanket treat entire herd or to rotate dewormers regularly as this may lead to the development of resistant parasites. The ideal approach involves selectively treating animals based on fecal counts and clinical signs (20% of animals harbor 80% of the herd parasite burden). Targeted deworming allows one to leave a population of parasites that have not been exposed to specific drugs. Leaving these naïve parasites helps prevent selection for resistant parasites (refugia, as coined by parasitologists).
  4. Large volume of blood lost by animal. 10 days of losing 200mL = 2L
