Parasite
control is important to the health and well-being of your
horse(s). We recommend a semi-annual fecal sample (two to
three fresh fecal balls) two weeks before your next deworming
as a follow-up to make sure the program is working for your
horse(s). Since parasites are primarily transferred through
manure, good management is also key. Along with; clean,
plentiful water, high quality feed, love and attention,
an effective parasite control program can help your horse(s)
be as healthy on the inside as it appears on the outside.
