  Animal Parasiticides Parasites feed themselves by attacking animals. They live in or on the body, gaining nourishment and protection at the expense of the unlucky host animal. Ticks, mosquitos, and fleas are common parasites that may reside on an animal's skin or hide in its fur. These parasites not only hurt the animal, but they may also transmit disease swiftly. Farmers may reduce their risk by keeping an eye on their animals, controlling insects, and using parasiticides to avoid infections. Worms and other parasites may dwell within the body. When cattle graze meadows, they are frequently unwittingly infected with parasites. The parasite will then take nourishment from the cattle, causing them to lose weight and produce less milk. Antihelmintics and other dewormers can aid in the management of these parasites. Parasites, such as fleas, may infect pets, as well as more deadly parasites like heartworms. Owners must keep a watchful eye out for indicators of parasitism, while ve...
