Actual study from the Cambridge Journal:

  • "On day 0, the average count for all calves was over 70 eggs per g faeces (epg) for trichostrongyle type eggs; counts for Nematodirus sp., Strongyloides sp., Trichuris sp. and Capillaria sp. were negligible. CTRL and DE steers had higher parasite levels than CONV steers during the 1st (P < 0·01) and 2nd months (P < 0·05) after treatment."


CTRL = No wormer at all
DE = Cows treated with DE
CONV = Standard Wormer (Albendazole)
