Virtually every horse on pasture is infected with small strongyles (cyathostomes), the most common and damaging equine internal parasites. However, there is growing evidence small strongyles are becoming resistant to many common equine dewormers, which poses a serious threat to the entire U.S. horse population.
Ask your veterinarian about Worm Smart.
Worm Smart is the veterinarian-administered program to help horse owners control equine parasites more effectively and economically, while reducing the risk of resistance. The Worm Smart program includes:
Fecal testing at least once per year and preferably twice per year to determine individual parasite burdens and local epidemiology.
Individual horse classifications based on quantifiable Fecal Egg Count (FEC) Test.
Suggested treatment protocols with effective compounds.
