The Importance of Worming
Horse ownership is a huge commitment, both time-wise and financially, a fundamental part of which is looking after your horse’s health and well-being. One of the main threats to your horse’s health is internal parasites. A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another ‘host’ organism (i.e. your horse) from which it obtains food. Parasites may or may not be harmful to the host. Parasite infections can simply be a minor irritation to your horse and may result in poor condition, with your horse not benefiting from the full nutritional worth of its feed. But infections can also prove fatal! Reducing the infection of internal parasites in your horse is one aspect of horse management which you can control. The aim of any worm control programme is to prevent the worm from completing its life cycle through the combined use of pasture management and equine anthelmintics. www.wormingyourhorse.info provides you with information on equine parasites and their control, and will help you make the important decisions in building a worm control programme for your horse.
