We support this by providing faecal worm egg count tests and interpretation, saliva test kits for tapeworm, parasite identification, strategic and targeted worming programs based on risk, and the supply of anthelmintics (wormers) where necessary.

Friendly and fast support for owners with concerns around horse internal and external parasite control.

The recommendations around worming horses have changed significantly, so ensure you’re up to date with the latest best practices to keep yours healthy.

At some point, every grazing horse will pick up a parasite from their environment, including “worms”. Under normal conditions, the horse’s immune system keeps the worm burden in the gut low enough so that intervention is not required. Exposure to, and carrying a small worm burden is perfectly healthy and actually aids in the provision of natural immunity.

When the gut/intestinal worm burden is excessively high though this can lead to some severe conditions. For example, worm-related gut damage can lead to general poor body condition, anaemia and susceptibility to other issues, colic, diarrhoea and other significant ongoing and long-term problems that can persist even after treatment. It is for these reasons that it is vitally important to monitor the worm burden and treat responsibly where required.
