All about horses

Part of good horse and farm management is having a dewormer schedule for your horses.All parasitic worms run on different lifecycles therefore the best approach to deworming your horse is to supply a fecal sample to your veterinarian.

This will tell you what type of worms and the level of infestation.

Your Vet will then prescribe the best type of Dewormer to use and advise on a rotational schedule.

Parasitic equine worms are never fully eradicated and reproduce so your best solution is to use different types of dewormers to prevent any buildup of tolerance from the dewormer products.

Rotational Dewormers (Anthelmintics) include

Fenbendazole,Oxybendazole,

Praziquantel,Ivermectin,and Pyrantel Pamoate and Moxydectrin.

Theses are sold under different brand names and they each work better on the various types of worms .

So you need to read the labels carefully and try to adopt a good program that covers all types such as blood worms ,tapeworms lungworms,pinworms and bots .

Also read the labels carefully for the correct amounts to be given according to the weight of your horse,pony or mule .
