The Importance of Equine Worming
As passionate horse owners, we understand that keeping our horses and ponies healthy is a top priority. Whether your horse is a happy hacker enjoying leisurely rides or a competition star aiming for the podium, maintaining their health is crucial. One key aspect of equine health is implementing an effective worming program that is tailored to the individual needs of each horse.
A Shift Towards Testing
For over 15 years, equine worm and egg count kits have provided valuable insights into the internal health of our hooved friends. Unfortunately, many horse owners were unaware of the benefits of testing for worms, often relying on a generic worming schedule. Historically, the approach typically involved administering a variety of wormer doses throughout the year, regardless of whether a treatment was necessary. Thankfully, there has been a significant shift in this paradigm.
Best Practice Worming Programs
Today, the equine community, including veterinarians and wormer distributors, advocates for a more personalized worming program. By testing for worms and treating only when needed, horse owners can ensure they are not only protecting their horses from infestations but also preventing unnecessary exposure to medications. A best practice worming program considers the unique needs of each horse, fostering overall health and optimal performance. Your dedication as an owner can significantly enhance your horse’s well-being while achieving 100% customer satisfaction in the process.
