Epi. 283 – Parasite Resistance and Sustainable Parasite Management – Sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim
Monday, 9 March, 2026
AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Christine Navarre, Extension Veterinarian at Louisiana State University Agricultural Center and Dr. D.L. Step, Senior Professional Services Veterinarian for Cattle and Boehringer Ingelheim. Parasite resistance is increasingly documented in U.S. beef herds and is influenced by product use and management decisions. In this episode, we explore what veterinarians are seeing in the field, how resistance develops and the role diagnostics, refugia, combination treatment and integrated herd and pasture management play in preserving long-term dewormer effectiveness. Veterinarians play a key role in assisting producers in managing resistance to parasites through effective treatment and diagnostic programs. Some strategies that have historically been used contribute to parasite resistance. Veterinarians can ask key questions to clients to mitigate this resistance pressure and provide guidance on effectively using the products not only to minimize resistance patterns, but also to ensure that cattle health and productivity are not being negatively impacted by parasites.
