Master Naturalist Program Seeks Applicants
Beware of Lice on your cattle
this Winter
AUSTIN, Texas - Several
chapters of the Texas Master Natu-
ralist program are accepting appli-
cations for spring classes for those
wanting to volunteer to help con-
serve the state’s natural resources.
The Texas Master Naturalist
program - with 28 chapters and
three more in the works - aims to
develop a corps of well-informed
citizen volunteers who educate
their communities about the man-
agement of natural resources. The
main qualification needed to be-
come a Certified Texas Master
Naturalist is an interest in learning
and playing an active part in con-
servation and education through
volunteerism.
Volunteers receive about 40
hours of training from educators
and specialists from places such as
universities, agencies, nature cen-
ters and museums. Training topics
include interpretation, and man-
agement of natural resources, eco-
logical concepts, eco-regions of
Texas and natural systems manage-
ment. Volunteers are expected to
give 40 hours of service a year in
community education, demonstra-
tion and habitat enhancement
projects. They are also expected to
pursue a minimum of eight hours of
advanced training in areas they are
interested in. Texas Master Natural-
ist Chapters in the following areas
still have available volunteer train-
ing space this spring with applica-
tion deadlines throughout February

Heavy lice infestations are a
common winter problem in cattle,
increasing dramatically during cold
weather. Drain on the animal from
these parasites can cause weight
loss, reduced feed efficiency and
general unthriftiness, making the
host more susceptible to disease,
according to information at
www.vourcattle.com. Cattle lice are
one of the most costly and under-
rated parasites of cattle, accounting
for millions of dollars lost each year.
According to Dr. Robert Cope, vet-
erinarian at Salmon, Idaho, lice are
the most harmful parasite of cattle
during the last months of winter and
into early spring; the irritation from
lice puts stress on cattle and drains
energy reserves.
Both biting and sucking lice
infest cattle. Biting lice are most com-
mon, while sucking lice are most
damaging, says Cope. Both cause
severe irritation and itching; infested
cattle rub, and chew at themselves,
scratching against feed bunks,
gates, posts and any other objects
in pens or pasture. Sucking lice con-
gregate around the head, neck and
shoulders of the host animal.
They are the most harmful be-
cause they can cause anemia. They
feed by piercing the skin with sharp
mouthparts to suck blood. Contin-
ued heavy infestations can weaken
an animal to the point that stress
from disease or cold weather can
cause death. Sucking lice can extract
so much blood that red-cell blood
counts can be lowered as much as
75 percent. An animal with lice may
become anemic, leading to poor feed
conversion and vulnerability to dis-

Lice
infest cattle
all year but
reach a peak
in late fall
and winter,
multiplying
dramatically
in cold
weather. In-
creased
body con-
tact between animals aids the spread
of lice (as when cattle are congre-
gated in pens for feeding, or brought
into corrals for weaning and routine
working). Winter hair gives lice in-
creased protection and an ideal en-
vironment for reproduction. The
eggs are attached to the hair and
hatch in 5 to 14 days.
Several products to kill lice are
commercially available from your
local animal health supplier. Lice can
be controlled with insecticides ap-
plied by spray, backrubbers, dust
bags or pour-ons but sprays do not
kill eggs and a second spray no later
than 18 days afterward is necessary.
If using back rubbers or dust bags,
don’t put them where spills might
contaminate water. Follow label di-
rections when applying insecticides
and do not use them in conjunction
with other insecticides at the same
time (such as ear tags). If using pour-
ons, do not exceed maximum recom-

mended dosage, and apply along the
topline from shoulders to hips.
Do not mix treated and un-
treated animals, or the untreated
ones will reinfest the treated ones.
Put treated cattle in a separate (and
uncontaminated) pen or pasture. For
best louse control, treat cattle in late
fall and again in mid-winter or early
spring, since lice populations may
start to build up again before winter
is over.
