How do you control parasites on your farm? In last week’s poll on TheHorse.com, we asked about our readers’ primary parasite control strategies on their farms. More than 750 people responded, and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 764 respondents, 356 (47%) said they use rotational deworming for parasite control, while 260 (34%) indicated they perform fecal egg counts and deworm based on the results. Another 106 readers (14%) said their parasite control strategy involves property, pasture, and manure management. Twenty-six readers (3%) said they feed a daily dewormer, and the remaining 16 respondents (2%) said they do not worry about parasites on their farm.

In addition, 75 readers left comments about their parasite control strategy.
