What horse wormer and when to supply it to them?
I have 2 horses that are your average, healthy horses.
But, what wormer do i need to offer them when? does anyone have a sort of calender for horses wormers? One that tells you when and what to give them.
Does anyone know of a correct cheap website to get them from?
in short what to give them, when to make available it to them, and where to get it?
thanks contained by advanced for all your help!
From another wormer question similar to yours I answered a month ago:
Well it really depends on what rotation you hold been using. Typically there is the daily deworming, two course rotation, and three way rotation. (the rotation referring to the active ingredient) Look on the box if you are not certain what the active ingredient is.
With a daily dewormer the active ingredient is pyrantel tartrate. When you jump to worm them you would use and ivermectin or ivermectin and praziquantel. Worming them would be in March/April and September/October time frames.
With a two way rotation you are rotating between the ivermectin or ivermectin and praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate. Jan/Feb is your pyrantel pamoate, Mar/Apr is your ivermectin or invermectin and praziquantel, May/Jun is pyrantel pamoate, July/Aug is your ivermectin or invermectin and praziquantel, Sep/Oct is pyrantel pamoate, and Nov/Dec ivermectin or invermectin and praziquantel.
With a three way rotation you are rotating between or ivermectin and praziquantel, pyrantel pamoate, and oxibendazole or fenbendasole. Jan/Feb is pyrantel pamoate, Mar/Apr is ivermectin or invermectin and praziquantel, May/Jun is oxibendazole or fenbendasole, July/Aug is pyrantel pamoate, Sep/Oct is ivermectin or invermectin and praziquantel, Nov/Dec is oxibendazole or fenbendasole.
Now, Quest is moxidectin. Its similar to the alive ingredient ivermectin except it does not cover threadworms or lungworms. With wormers it is highly reccomended that you rotate so that you cover all your bedbugs. There is still not a wormer developed that can kill all types of parasites. So whether you have been using the Quest then I would rotate it to cover adjectives your parasites.
If you were doing a three way rotation after your horse would be due for the Ivermactin or ivermectin and praziquantel wormer. But since it sounds like you are not rotating your wormers at all then I would dance with a two way rotation and use something with the pyrantel pamoate surrounded by it.
Remember, switching between brands of the same active ingrediant is NOT rotating. You have to craft sure you are rotating the active ingrediant.
Examples:
Ivermectin- horse health equine, ivermectin, ivercare, rotectin 1.87%, zimecterin
Ivermectin & praziquantel- equimax, zimecterin gold ingots
pyrantel pamoate- liqui-care p, liquid rotectin P, strongid, strongyle care
fenbendazole- panacur, panacur power pac, safe-guard
oxibendazole- anthelcide eq
you can buy any of the wormers mentioned here:
http://www.marystack.com/horse-health---...
They are a wonderful company and ship very rapidly and almost always have every item surrounded by stock.
I can't seem to be to find the website that had like everything you could ever want to know about wormer so I'll only just tell you the basics instead.
You have two option...
1.)Monthly wormer:
You rotate between three wormers. So the parasites don't build an immunity. So one kind of wormer surrounded by January then a different one in February then a different one surrounded by March then the one you used in January you would use in April next in May the one you used in February etc etc.
2.)Daily wormer:
You give the horse one benevolent of daily dewormer every day and this kills the lice before they can develop so you don't need to rotate between brands. But twice a year you need to nurture a paste wormer along with the daily de wormer. So for example you would dispense your daily dewormer then in January read out you give a paste and then again surrounded by July you give a paste wormer again but a different brand then the one you used surrounded by January. You have to give the paste along next to the daily wormer just to make certain. Its best if the paste is given in 6 mo. intervals. If you wish to go with the daily de wormer later you give the paste before putting them on a day after day dewormer so say for example you want to start this month(let's just say December because it's just about to be the first of the month) then you would give them the paste and the subsequent day start the daily dewormer then within June you give a different paste.
I know I said wormer and dewormer but it's the same item.Good Luck!
Here is a chart:

I trade off wormers, I enjoy them on rotation.
I reccomend that you talk to your vet as i Live in a different climate then you probably do.
With any and adjectives my clients i reccomend ivermectine or something like that and every 6 months on the first of the month
I deworm my 8 year old mare 2 times a year and I get my wormer at Boot Barn or you can budge to www.statelinetack.com and get a dewormer called Ivercare for just $5.34. I use Ivercare because it is a cement and my horse trainer says it gets rid of worms slower so your horse won't get sick and when I deworm my horse near ivercare I just give her the whole entry because usually when I deworm other horses some of the wormer falls out of their mouth so I just give the integral thing to my horse. If you give them the whole article it won't hurt them.
You should talk to your vet about faecal egg counts. These allow you to regularly assess your horses worm burdens and then worm fittingly. Overuse of wormers is gradually resulting in worms becoming resistant ie the wormers are not forceful (akin to the overuse of antibiotics in humans leading to things like MRSA). Daily wormers are a gibberish as they will speed up the process of development of resistant worms. If your pasture management is good and you maintain a check on worm burdens, you may be able to reduce your worming to around once per year (using just the faecal egg count, you would still enjoy to worm for tapeworm - it's not detected by the test). Have a look at the blog part of my website www.soloequestrian.com for an article on new thinking on worms and worming.
Rotating wormers every time you worm actually promotes resistance - you bring to a close up with worms that are resistant to multiple products, not just one. The aim should be to reduce the use of chemical wormers as much as possible and merely rotate on a yearly basis (keeping tapeworm in intellect along with this).
well, if you enjoy a health record saying what wormers hold beeen used before. don't use recent ones. the thing is, you have to know how to weigh them. Buy a weight tape. on there, It will expected it will say how to do that. then, give the horse that much. you'll gain used to it. if you dont have one, get a diary book. You have to record what and when u worm, ect. 4 times a year you worm. 12 divided by 4 is 3. every three months, deworm, using different ones almost respectively time.
Answers: Hi,
You can get wormers relatively inexpensively by visit sites like jeffers pet and equine.com.
I would give them Ivermectin now and next Strongid 8 weeks after that, than do a Safeguard after that I would do an Ivermectin Gold (for tapeworms) etc.
You will have to find out what your vet recommends for your area of the country and he or she can recommend a correct worming schedule for your guys. We have a caledar we use and rotate according to our vets guidelines, plus it make it easy to remember when I have to walk by it every daytime in the barn. You could get one too and post it in your barn to remind you of what to impart and when to give it.
Good luck to you and best of luck with your search!
I use IverCare on my horses :) I LOVE it. Never have a problem near my two love bugs. I give it to my horses every three months- & normally try to make it the first of that month so its easier to remember. You really cant over dose on wormer, & i generally give my horse the whole tube (he's 1250 lbs. The wormer i get is generally for 1500lbs)
Hmm... A good site is jeffersequine.com & then just type contained by 'dewormer'.
http://www.jefferspet.com/product/iverca...
Thats what i get :)
Hope this helped!
Most people rotate their wormers because this way the parasites dont immune themselves to the wormer. So I use; December: ComoCar Gel, February: Ivermectin, April: Panacur, June:ComboCar Gel, August: Ivermectin, October: Strongid
Hope this help! I normally get them from my local tack store, but you can find them on doversaddlery.com too!
u can buy wormer at a feed store and each one is diff but i would voice the best one is from the vet they run a tube down in the horse stomach and u do it about once a year
You really should set this up with advice from your vet, who knows what is going on surrounded by your area and will be up to date on issues of resistance which are being researched and new information is coming surrounded by every day. One of the most important issues in horse caution today is deworming.
