Likewise, the data on the efficacy of deworming practices and the presence of anthelmintic resistance (AR) of these parasites in this region is sparse. The current study collected evidence for the presence of nematode and trematode parasites in 18 herds of young beef cattle grazing either dryland or irrigated pasture in northern California as well as on efficacy and evidence of AR in a subgroup of herds. We found variable levels of fecal egg counts (FEC) ranging from 6 to 322 for the arithmetic mean eggs per gram (EPG) in the tested cattle groups. There was no difference in the number of EPG between herds grazing dryland or irrigated pasture (P\u2005=\u20050.54). We did not find any evidence for liver flukes or lungworms in the tested cattle. There was evidence of AR to macrocyclic lactones in all eight herds where fecal egg count reduction tests (FECRT) were performed, however due to types and execution of treatment applications and sample sizes, these results need to be interpreted with caution. The most common genus of third stage larvae in coproculture testing before treatment was Cooperia (between 55% and 98% of larvae) as well as post treatment for those herds undergoing FECRT (between 50% and 96%). Ostertagia was the second most frequent genus of larvae found in coproculture testing making up between 0% and 27% of larvae before treatment and between 5% and 50% of larvae after treatment. Anthelmintic practices in beef herds in northern California and likely in a larger geographic area in the western United States need to be updated in order to continue effective use of the currently available drugs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txaf007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,23]],"date-time":"2025-01-23T15:56:30Z","timestamp":1737647790000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Gastrointestinal parasitic worm burdens and efficacy of deworming practices in growing beef cattle grazing California pastures"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1894-2170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele U","family":"Maier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Health & Reproduction, University of California Davis , CA 95616 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phillip","family":"Torcal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Health & Reproduction, University of California Davis , CA 95616 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffery","family":"Stackhouse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Natural Resources Humboldt and Del Norte counties, University of California , Eureka, CA 95503 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josh S","family":"Davy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Natural Resources Tehama, Glenn and Colusa counties, University of California , Red Bluff, CA 96080 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Larry C","family":"Forero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Natural Resources Shasta and Trinity counties, University of California , Redding, CA 96002 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Snell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Natural Resources Modoc county, University of California , Alturas, CA 96101 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grace","family":"Woodmansee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Natural Resources Siskiyou county, University of California , Yreka, CA 96097 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025021012390187300_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"447","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X13000412","article-title":"Species-specific PCR for the identification of Cooperia curticei (Nematoda: Trichostrongylidae) in sheep","volume":"88","author":"Amarante","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
