What Did I Do This Fine Monday Evening, You Ask? 🤔
I was on poo 💩 watch for my boys so I can send a sample down to Worm-Ed !
Dr Holly Blue at Worm-Ed is helping change the way we worm our horses with an affordable, yet totally tailored programme for you and your horse. 🦄
Around the world we’re seeing wormer resistance, and the scary thing is that we don’t have an endless supply of new dewormers available.
The poo sample I send off to Worm-Ed doesn’t just test for a FEC (faecal egg count). They can also assess your horse’s natural immunity to worms, which helps determine how often that individual horse actually needs to be wormed. 👏
Blanket deworming (worming every horse on the property at the same time) is the old method many of us were taught. However, it’s no longer what current science supports. In some cases it can contribute to wormer resistance and may not always be in the best interests of your horse’s long-term health and welfare. 🐴
If this has got your brain ticking over, or you’ve got questions about worming your horse, please reach out to the team at Worm-Ed. They’re incredibly lovely, easy to deal with, and always happy to help answer even the tricky questions. 🤗💚
