Equine
Tip From the PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee
|
|
Equine
De-Worming
By the Kristin
Mason, PATH Intl. Equine Welfare Committee Member
Equine worming recommendations have significantly changed
over the past several years, and your veterinarian should be consulted
for appropriate advice for your horses and your area. The American Association of
Equine Practitioners website is also a very good resource for suggested
worming protocols.
Because of built-up resistance to anthelmintics (dewormers),
veterinarians have most recently recommended doing rotational worming
throughout the year versus daily worming. Click here to see
suggested schedules.
