Start louse control now for cattle health
Cattlemen should watch for louse population buildup in herds says Washington county extension director Jim Frier. Infestations threaten animal health and can cause death if uncontrolled with signs like hairballs on fences and animals rubbing on feedbanks. Sprays using Co Ral Giodrin Delnav Korlan malathion and toxaphene are suggested, applied on mild windless days with careful handling of animals to avoid contamination. Stockdale cautions about pour on insecticides causing bloat or hind paralysis if grubs are in the gullet or spinal canal and notes they may not eradicate lice. Backrubbers and oil solutions can keep lice below economic injury levels, but all insecticides are poisons and must be used as directed. Follow label instructions and do not mix stronger than specified.
