Question

when deworming a steer, the dose rate for the dewormer is 5 grams of paste given orally per 220 pounds of body weight. the steer is 1320 pounds. how many grams of paste should be used?

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of paste needed for deworming a 1320-pound steer:

1. Calculate the number of 220-pound intervals:
1320 pounds / 220 pounds = 6 intervals

2. Multiply the number of intervals by the dose rate:
6 intervals * 5 grams/interval = 30 grams

So, 30 grams of paste should be used to deworm the steer.
