Farm 1 was located 50\u2009km north and Farm 2 75\u2009km north\u2010west of Rockhampton. In each study, half of a group of recently\u2010weaned beef calves were treated by random allocation with 0.2\u2009mg\/kg of injectable doramectin, and the remainder acting as untreated controls. Study 1 (Farm 1) enrolled 250 heifers, while studies 2 and 3 (Farm 2) both enrolled 200 steers and 200 heifers. The farms involved did not historically use macrocyclic lactone\u2010based drenches on their cattle. There were varying periods of follow\u2010up, with treated and control cattle pastured as one group throughout the study period. Worm burdens were monitored using standard faecal egg counts and larval differentiation procedures. In all studies, the worm genera present were a mix of <jats:italic>Cooperia<\/jats:italic> spp., <jats:italic>Haemonchus<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>Oesophagostomum<\/jats:italic> spp.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In study 1, conducted on Farm 1 beginning 9 July 2012, doramectin\u2010treated cattle gained an average of 0.27\u2009kg\/day while control cattle gained 0.19\u2009kg\/day over a monitoring period of 121\u2009days (P &lt; 0.0001). In study 2, conducted on Farm 2 beginning 28 July 2015, doramectin\u2010treated cattle gained an average of 0.15\u2009kg\/day versus 0.145\u2009kg\/day in the control group (P = 0.44) over a 231\u2010day study period. In study 3, conducted on Farm 2 beginning 4 August 2016, doramectin\u2010treated steers and heifers gained an average of 0.431 and 0.402\u2009kg\/day versus 0.342 and 0.311\u2009kg\/day in the control group, respectively, over the first 91\u2009days of the study (P &lt; 0.0001 in both cases). The differences in average daily gain (ADG) in subsequent time periods were not statistically significant for steers or heifers. However, overall differences in ADG from day 0 remained statistically significant out to day 258, when the study ended for the heifers. By day 594, when the study ended for the steers, the difference in ADG was no longer significant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Treatment with injectable doramectin soon after weaning resulted in improved weight gain in the 3\u2009months after weaning in two of the three studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.12809","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]],"date-time":"2019-05-28T17:00:17Z","timestamp":1559062817000},"page":"185-190","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Impact of a single treatment of injectable doramectin on weight gain post weaning in beef heifers and steers in central Queensland, Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"LF","family":"Taylor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoetis Australia, Level 6, 5 Rider Boulevard  Rhodes New South Wales, 2138 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Hodge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoetis Australia, Level 6, 5 Rider Boulevard  Rhodes New South Wales, 2138 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.1976.tb09512.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1357729800009772"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","unstructured":"Pfizer Animal Health (now Zoetis).
