Summary

Gastrointestinal worms and anthelmintic resistance have been highlighted as priorities in the Thoroughbred Horses Program RDE Plan (2022-2027). Current research (PRJ-011191 – Improving the detection of parasitic infections and control strategies of horses) seeks to understand how the industry controls gastrointestinal parasites, determine the level of understanding of the industry on gastrointestinal parasites in horses, and assess the prevalence of parasite resistance to commonly used anthelmintics.

This project is seeking to understand what the Program should invest in next around gastrointestinal worms and anthelmintic resistance in horses as part of the AgriFutures Thoroughbred Horses Program.
