If you are a long time horse owner, the traditional parasite control strategy has been to deworm your horse every 6-8 weeks year round, rotating products, or providing a daily dewormer in your horses feed, and deworming twice a year with a paste product. Years of constant deworming has contributed to the development of parasite resistance to many deworming products out there. With no new deworming products coming out on the market, it is vital that we practice judicious use of the products that are still available to us. It is now recommended to tailor your horses deworming protocol based off of fecal examination. In many horses the number of times you deworm your horse each year can be greatly reduced, saving you money on deworming and keeping your horse healthier.

It’s never too early to be prepared for a possible hurricane.
