Refer to The Merck Veterinary Manual to read more detailed information about equine parasites.
If left untreated, equine parasites can cause a wide range of health
problems for all horses, regardless of breed, age or stabling environment.
An effective parasite control program is based on three principles:
identification, treatment and prevention.
- Identification
Do you know the major species of equine parasites, when they are
most likely to threaten your horse and the signs of infection?
- Treatment
Do you know the recommended dosing intervals? Do you know how
to ensure your horse receives optimal protection?
- Prevention
Do you know how to minimize your horses risk factors?
