De~worming Schedule

Spring and Fall are important times to de-worm the horses. I'm going to try to catch Ella before she foals. If not then I'll wait until the foal is 2 months old. I've researched 3 brands of de-wormer's that are safe for pregnant mares and young foals.

• Eqvalan (ivermectin) 
• Bimectin (ivermectin) 
• Panomec (invermectin) 

All three are sold at UFA. Ella & Eli will be de-wormed for June and then receive their shots/vaccines when the vet comes out to see Ella and the foal.

Review of EQVALAN: Eqvalan (ivermecting), professional parasite control for horses, provides the broadest spectrum of control available against equine parasites. Eqvalan is safe enough that it can be used in all horses of all ages, including mares at any stage of pregnancy. Stallions may be treated without adversely affecting their fertility. Resistance has not developed against Eqvalan in the last 20 years.

This dewormer provides effective control of the following parasites or parasitic conditions in horses: large and small strongyles, pinworms, ascarids, hairworms, large-mouth stomach worms, bots, lungworms, and intestinal threadworms, as well as Summer Sores and Onchocerciasis.  

BE SURE THAT THE DEWORMERS USED ARE FDA APPROVED
