Endoparasites,
mainly worms, continue to be a major problem to the horse industry. Despite
recent developments in the deworming worm related problems are a major
problem in Lanarkshire.
We have written the following information on worms and deworming based
on the current thinking. The protocols attached may change in
the future as our knowledge increases and further deworming agents
become available.
We are always available to discuss worm related problems and provide
a selection of dewormers at very competitive prices. If you wish
