PARASITE PROFILE CASE STUDY

Key Takeaways from Khallie's Case Study

Risk Assessment: Khallie is classified as Medium risk due to factors such as:
- Lack of regular manure removal (pooh picking)
- Not all horses on the yard following a worm count testing plan

Test Results: Despite the Medium risk associated with yard and field management, Khallie's test results indicate LOW counts, meaning no treatment is required at this time.

Next Testing Due: Khallie is due for a Faecal Egg Count (FEC) in the summer and an EquiSal test in the autumn.

As spring arrives, grass begins to grow, temperatures rise, and so do the risks of equine parasites.

Like autumn, the warm wet weather of spring creates favourable conditions for parasites to thrive. 🌱

Gone are the days of blanket worming; worming without testing is an outdated method that can lead to increased parasite resistance, a significant issue in equine health. 🩺

By implementing worm count testing, you can avoid unnecessary treatments, protect your horse's health and well-being, and help maintain the effectiveness of wormers for the future. 🔬

Special attention is needed for young, old, and immune compromised horses during this season compared to healthy adults.💫

THIS SPRING....

FAECAL EGG COUNT - Faecal egg counting is used to help identify the egg laying stages of redworm and Roundworm.
It is advised to FEC routinely every 8-12 weeks.

Young, old and high shedding horses require more frequent testing.

EQUISAL TAPEWORM SALIVA TEST- The EquiSal Tapeworm test measures the relevant antibodies in the horse’s saliva. It is advised to test for tapeworm every 6 months.
If your horse has a borderline or Moderate/High result, treatment is required. The warm wet weather of spring creates favourable conditions for tapeworm parasites to thrive, making it an ideal time of year to test.

Testing before grazing season in the spring identifies horses with high worm burdens that will release eggs on to grass pastures.

Understanding your horse's risk of parasites is crucial for effective management. The greater the risk, the more essential it is to conduct frequent testing. Various factors influence this risk, including your horse's health, age, and immune system, as well as environmental elements such as yard and field management. 🪱♻️🔬🌱🐴
