Wormers can come in the form of paste and granules which are both equally effective. Granules are often cheaper and can be added to the feed although fussy feeders may not consume the whole treatment. Paste is usually quick and easy to administer.

WARNING! Moxidectin and ivermectin can have severe adverse affects on dogs and cats. Keep syringes safely and make sure these animals have no access to feeds containing the paste or the droppings of the horse for 3 days after worming.

Wherever possible, administer the paste directly into the horse’s mouth.

WARNING! Moxidectin can also be toxic to horses if overdosed – this is most likely to happen in foals and Shetland ponies or Miniature horses so please take extra care with dosage. We avoid using it in very thin or poor animals, call BELL EQUINE on 01622 813700 to check.

IT IS ADVISEABLE THAT ONE OF OUR VET OR SQPs CHECKS THE WORMING PROGRAMME AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR SINCE TREATMENTS, PROCEDURES AND PARASITES CONTINUALLY CHANGE.
