Summary

Cooperia punctata infection significantly reduced weight gain and feed intake in feedlot calves. Macrocyclic lactone treatments showed limited efficacy, while benzimidazoles were effective against this parasite.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Parasitology
  • Animal Science
  • Ruminant Health

Background:

  • Cooperia spp. are increasingly prevalent parasites in US cattle operations.
  • Widespread use of macrocyclic lactones has led to reduced efficacy against these parasites.
  • The impact of Cooperia spp. on cattle productivity remains largely uncharacterized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effects of Cooperia punctata infection on cattle productivity in a feedlot setting.
  • To evaluate the anthelmintic sensitivity of the Cooperia isolate used in the study.

Main Methods:

  • Two hundred yearling calves were divided into infected and control groups.
  • Infected calves were orally inoculated with Cooperia punctata larvae.
  • Data collected included fecal egg counts, weight gain, and feed consumption over 60 days.

  • Anthelmintic sensitivity was tested using macrocyclic lactone and benzimidazole treatments.

    • Main Results:

    • Cooperia-infected calves exhibited 7.5% lower weight gain and consumed 1.5 lb less feed daily compared to controls.
    • Histological examination revealed increased mesenteric lymph node size and intestinal mucosal changes in infected animals.
    • Macrocyclic lactone treatment showed poor efficacy (FECRT=8.8%), while benzimidazole treatment was highly effective (FECRT=98.1%).

    Conclusions:

    • Cooperia punctata infection significantly impairs cattle weight gain and feed intake.
    • The Cooperia isolate demonstrated resistance to macrocyclic lactones but susceptibility to benzimidazoles.
    • Findings highlight the economic impact of Cooperia spp. and the need for effective parasite control strategies.
