Deworming in Livestock and Internal parasites
Livestock play a crucial role in global agriculture. It provides essential resources such as meat, milk, and wool. One of the key practices in livestock management is deworming in livestock.

There are two types of parasites, internal parasites and external parasites. Internal parasites live inside the body in different organs.

Internal parasites of cattle pose a significant threat to the health of livestock. Moreover, they affect their growth, reproduction, and overall productivity. Worms such as roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes can cause a range of issues. These issues include weight loss, diarrhea, anemia, and even death in severe cases.
Livestock kept in pastures or communal environments are particularly susceptible to parasitic infections. So we should take measures to control internal parasites in cattle and other animals.
Types of Gastrointestinal Parasites
Different types of internal parasites of cattle and other animals or specially gastrointestinal parasites are following:
Roundworms (Nematodes): These parasites can lead to digestive issues, poor weight gain, and decreased feed efficiency.
Tapeworms (Cestodes): Tapeworm infections may cause digestive disturbances, leading to malnutrition and weight loss.
