Equine Health and Fitness:
 |
The British Equine Veterinary Association have a good website which includes this good Horse Care Guide. Click on the image to go straight to the document: or visit the main BEVA website at www.beva.org.uk |
I have also found some other useful informative website which gives advice on many equestrian veterinary topics, including worming, vaccinations, saddle fitting, dental care, insurance and feeding.
For easy navigation, I have put links below.
Worming - includes a simple standard worming program.
There is plenty of good worming advice available from this website: www.nixonandmarshall.co.uk/worming_equines.html
Virbac also claim that their product 'Equimax-gel' is suitable to protect against tapeworm. See their website which will send you an email reminding you when to worm your horse! www.equimax-gel.com/public/sommaire1.php3?cas=1
NB. If you are unsure which product to use, contact your vet. If you want to reduce your worm problem on your fields, you should pick up droppings. You can either do this by hand, or buy a paddock cleaner. Visit www.predatorpeople.co.uk
