No I don't think cattle are given heartgard chewable tables.

I think the active ingredient in Heartgard is ivermectin. Ivermectin also comes in other oral, topical, and injectable forms and these are often used in production animals.

Well idk about all that.

The problem with heartguard is the dosage is too low. There are some dogs that can't handle the higher dosage. I find that my BMC cur and mutts don't seem to mind.

Yeah it's not pure 100% Ivermectin.

There is a cattle wormer paste that is good, but I use the injectable type but give it oral.
