It is CRUCIAL to wait for WINTER to address the dangerous ENCYSTED STAGE OF SMALL REDWORMS.

Encysted redworms are non-egg-laying, meaning they can not be detected by a FEC. They burrow into the horse's gut wall, and mass emerge in the spring. Redworm infestation can be fatal for horses, making it imperative for owners to take preventive measures.

Therefore, it is recommended in the WINTER that horses are blood tested for the presence of encysted redworms or receive a proactive wormer dose.

Blood testing is only suitable for low-risk horses. For those who are not conducting the blood test, it is essential that horses receive a wormer in the winter, between December and February.

It is best to wait for cold weather with consecutive daytime temperatures below 6 degrees Celsius before administering the dose, as the activity of small redworms slows down; this reduces the risk of reinfection

Jess Equine can advise you on the appropriate route for your horse. Only two chemicals can target encysted redworms; which wormer is most appropriate depends on your horse as an individual.
