Parasite control
Woodruff said vaccines will protect calves more if their
immune system is not hurt by parasites. “If an animal is
dealing with an internal or external parasite problem, those
parasites are occupying part of the animal’s immune system.
They are not as responsive to vaccines,” he said. “Parasites
maintain their existence at the expense of the host calf or
cow. They are drawing nutrients the animal would otherwise
have, and diverting a portion of the immune system that
should focus on responding to our vaccination program.”

A proper deworming program will control parasites,
based on the type of parasites infesting the cattle and
time of year. “It’s easy to grab fecal samples to determine
the worm load,” Woodruff said. “A producer’s veterinarian
can assist him in targeting certain groups to identify the
level of parasite activity, as well as the type of parasite
and the deworming program needed to control them.”
Woodruff said that while parasites can hurt an animal’s
immune system response, vitamin and mineral deficiencies,
especially trace mineral deficiencies, can also slow down
calf performance and possibly cause health p roblems.
“If there is anything afoul in the nutrition program there can be
problems,” he said. “If it’s a shortage of energy or protein, that is
