every other month rotation worming

My horses have not needed to be wormed in 8-9 years, so probably not.

I do rotational deworming, so far, so good.

very low key, Ivermectin is mostly still effective
8/19/2010 7:35:01 PM
But closed herd. No travel. No issues.
8/19/2010 7:26:11 PM
Negative fecal counts. Why worm when you don't have too. Only worm when needed.

I had a horse colic due to encysted strongyles, despite a typical rotation program
8/18/2010 3:03:15 PM
I now do rotational worming--hope it helps to prevent parasite resistance
8/18/2010 2:55:15 PM
I do not worm unless the egg count warrants it.
8/18/2010 2:32:39 PM
We worm daily with strongid C2X, and paste worm 2 times a year with great results.
8/18/2010 10:45:33 AM
I home test before using or not using anthelmintics
8/18/2010 8:26:04 AM
most especially ivermectin
8/18/2010 8:21:24 AM
FEC are essentially 0
8/18/2010 7:39:18 AM

Living in Houston,TX. we must rotationally worm monthly in the hot months.
8/17/2010 10:12:11 PM

8/17/2010 10:04:10 PM
My fecal egg counts were negative on both my horses,.
8/17/2010 8:40:53 PM
low incidence of resistance to ivermectin
8/17/2010 6:23:28 PM
I use a fecal egg count program in order to avoid resistance to deworming products.
8/17/2010 4:48:06 PM
not yet, but I am concerned about it!
8/17/2010 4:36:47 PM
I am lucky to have a great veterinaian.
8/17/2010 4:28:52 PM
But I expect it to happen fairly soon now.
8/17/2010 4:23:09 PM
Thankfully, no
8/17/2010 4:07:48 PM
doing FECs to (hopefully) prevent resistance
8/17/2010 3:49:56 PM
We only worm if a stool sample comes back positive for worms. It's been 2 years now and no worms.
8/17/2010 3:33:21 PM
pinworms three years ago , had dewormed two yearlings every 8 weeks with ivermectrin and another

Exams by equine hospital show our deworming program (rotation) is effective.

I do rotational worming that is very effective.

Seems that Panacur and Strongid don't work anymore. Never knew until we tested.
