Deworming Recommendations
0 Comments
The standard practice of deworming every 2 months has been followed for more than 40 years, but much has changed in that amount of time. Parasite drug resistance has increased and at a rate that is faster than the development of new dewormers. A more selective deworming approach is therefore recommended to help decrease parasite resistance. In order to select the proper deworming medication and frequency, a fecal egg count is performed to determine the parasite load the horse is currently carrying. Parasite infection varies with age and health of the horse. Therefore, it is important to perform fecal egg counts routinely throughout the horse’s life.
