Abstract
The effects of a single treatment at entry with three anthelmintics on rates of weight gain and feed conversion efficiency over a 70 day period were studied in 200 feedlot steers. None of the anthelmintic treatments used appeared to confer any improvement in the above parameters under the conditions of this experiment. The results are discussed in relation to routine anthelmintic treatment in western Canada.
