Treat all horses grazing
together at the same time and with the same product.
Ensure that your horse gets
the correct dose for his/her weight. Don't under-dose as this can lead to
resistance in the worm population and the horse not being wormed
effectively.
Medicated feed must be
completely eaten within 12 hours or removed.
Take into account the
horse's age and type, local environment and climate.
Keep an accurate record of
when you worm your horse and the product used.
Treat horses that are at
grass during the winter, even if only for short periods.
Do not overstock the
paddocks.
When moving horses to new
grazing worm them 48 hours before the move to help prevent the spread of
parasites.
Always ask your vet for
specific advice on individual situations.
No single
worming drug will kill all the horse’s internal parasites.
Do
not administer the drugs more frequently than recommended.
The
key to
worm control is to break the life cycle of the parasite, through drugs and
pasture management.
Killing
the four main groups (Large Redworms, Small
Redworms, Tapeworms and Bots), will also kill all the other
important worms.
Feed
horses adequately and never off the stable floor.
