Integrated Pest Management for the Horse Farm quantity

Horse owners are advised to ‘worm’ their horses every six to twelve weeks. Sole reliance on these chemicals to control horse parasites is expensive and most likely detrimental to horses, people and the environment. Resistance in worms to these chemicals is increasing. This leads to higher dosages administered more often. Administering chemicals to horses can be hazardous to both horses and handlers. This report looks at additional strategies that could be used to control worms in a more sustainable manner.
