1. Preventive deworming: calves are dewormed once at 20 to 25 days old and 60 to 65 days old, which can repel parasites infected from the maternal placenta and avoid the onset of calves of smaller day-old calves.
2. Regular deworming: deworm the calves once at 1 month and 5 months of age, and feed 8 mg of levamisole per kilogram of calves. At the same time, the enclosure site is sprayed with 2% dimethod solution every half a month.
