Texans Research To Halt Cattle Parasite
A Kerrville Texas program under the Southwest Animal Health Foundation plans to sterilize screwworms by cobalt irradiation and release them in south Texas to curb the parasitic worm that harms livestock. The project seeks to recruit Oklahoma and Arkansas support, with Oklahoma cattlemen pledging funds per head to back the effort. County ranchers incur five to ten thousand dollars yearly fighting screwworms through losses, medicine, and weight drops, while a farm club meeting in Roff discusses cattle feeding.
