Feature Article - Westgate Labs Why Proactive Parasite Control for Foals Is Important Claire Shand, Reg Animal Medicines Advisor Westgate Labs. A horse’s immune health plays a big part in their ability to resist parasite infection - much of this is developed at an early age. Horses who haven’t had good worming support during their first year of life often go on to have more parasite problems than those that have proactive help. Foals should be wormed regularly from 8 weeks old, incorporating treatment with fenbendazole and pyrantel where necessary to cover the potential ascarid infection that youngsters are particularly prone to. Worm for encysted redworm in the winter and EquiSal tapeworm test once weaned. From a year old they can move to a targeted programme, carrying out worm egg counts every eight weeks initially. Without this we set a horse up for potential problems. Meet Dales Pony Fern who arrived as a weanling at 11 months old with no known worming history. She clearly demonstrates a low level of immunity and as a yearling struggled to overcome a persistent redworm infection. Without regular testing and veterinary support her outcome may not have been so favourable. Fern; A Young Horse With a Challenging Redworm Problem Fern arrived with a medium redworm count of 1000 eggs per gram that were successfully treated with a 5 day fenbendazole (Panacur). It was only after this that the first of the real problems began! We’ve documented her test results and treatments over this time in the table right. Fern was turned out on to previously grazed pasture and almost immediately her worm egg counts began to rise again as her immune system was challenged by small redworm present here.
