Deworming can reduce feed cost pressure

Worm infections are a costly problem for farmers. The animals grow less and
together with the higher feed prices, the losses are getting even bigger.

Worms in birds could cause gut damage, leading to poor use of feed, loss
of shell and yolk colour, poor egg size and fewer eggs. Heavy worm infection
levels could lead to loss of bird condition and even death. 

Cunnah
urges pig and poultry producers to give worming a higher priority and not treat
it as a last resort. He said a broad spectrum anthelmintic offered in drinking
water would reduce high worm burdens to a level where intervals between
treatments could be lengthened, helping to prevent the problem flaring
again.
