Abstract
Ear tag treatment of young nursing calves may be more convenient and efficient than treatment of cows. Tagging nursing calves in either the right or left ear with fenvalerate-impregnated ear tags provided control of Haematobia irritans (L.), on cows and bulls comparable to that reported for tagging cows. Tagging bull calves provided control for ca. 18 weeks.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
