Section 1 - Health
Internal Parasites
| 34. |
You should control internal
parasites by using effective anthelmintics (drugs to treat parasites)
or vaccines. As part of your herd health and welfare plan, you should
ensure that treatment is based on the life cycle of the particular
parasites you are tackling. You should treat your animals for parasites
in accordance with veterinary advice. Organic producers, in particular,
should seek veterinary advice on this aspect of their herd health and
welfare plan. |
