UK Extension Specialists have worked to acquire grant dollars for a multi-state research program to evaluate the current effectiveness of dewormers and deworming practices on beef cattle operations. The ANR agent collaborated with specialists on this project. The ANR agent identified and collected samples from 3 demonstration farms in Spring 2023 and 3 in Fall/Winter 2023. There was some overlap in demonstration farms so in total there were 4 separate farms from Mercer County participating in this project. Once all data is analyzed from farms across the state it is anticipated recommended practices for deworming and type of dewormers used will change. After the data is analyzed we will be able to use that data to educate our beef cattle producers and be able to keep them up to date on recommended health practices as it pertains to deworming. The participating farmers in Mercer County have all indicated they enjoyed participating in the program and look forward to learning more as results from the research become available.
