Are there natural remedies for lung worms in cows?
No. Lung worms in cattle are in the lungs, which are a delicate tissue. There aren't many treatments for them, and treating the worms is likely to kill the cow anyway from a severe immune reaction to the dead worms in the lungs.
What do lung worms look like?

What do lung worms do to cattle?
Lung worms cause respiratory problems in cattle that give them similar symptoms as if they would have a bacterial or viral pneumonia, except that they are parasites in the lung. A cow can die from having lungworms if there are too many in the lungs. An internal parasiticide is given to cattle to get rid of these worms.

If they are regularly coughing and the feed is not dusty then I would take their temperatures as they may have a respiratory infection and need antibiotics or they might have lung worms and need drenching for worms.
What effects do a nematode have on a sheep?
It depends on the type of nematode (internal parasite, helminth, worm) - some worms cause diarrhoea, others cause anaemia and submandibular oedema due to hypoproteinaemia, lung worms cause sheep to cough. Most nematodes/worms if not treated can lead to illthriftiness and eventual death of the sheep.
What do ascaris lumbricoides do when exposed to anesthetics?
When exposed to anesthetics, such as halothane or isoflurane, Ascaris lumbricoides, which are parasitic roundworms, undergo a reversible relaxation of their muscles. This causes a temporary paralysis or immobilization of the worms. However, once the effect of the anesthetic wears off, the worms regain their normal mobility and activity.
What is lung compliance?
Lung compliance = Lung expandability
Are meal worms real worms?
