Parasite Control
Recently there has been an emergence of resistant parasites. It has become very important to monitor the parasite burden of each horse and create a customized strategy for parasite management at the farm. No longer can horse owners rely on following a cookie cutter deworming strategy. Protocols must be based on age and medical history of the horse as well as the number of horses per acre and the pasture conditions including whether pasture rotation is performed. Treatment plans are based on this information along with knowledge of local parasitic resistance and fecal exams including fecal egg counts.
For a new horse with an unknown deworming history, please contact us.
