The importance of rotating horse wormers.
Rotating horse wormers is an important part of maintaining the health of horses, as different types of worms can cause various health issues in horses. The use of different wormers should be based on the seasonal cycles and the life stages of the worms.
In Australia, the most common types of worms affecting horses are small strongyles, large strongyles, roundworms, and tapeworms. These worms have different seasonal cycles, which means that they may be more prevalent at different times of the year. For example, small strongyles tend to be more common during the cooler months, while large strongyles are more common during the warmer months.
It's important to note that the life stages of these worms also play a crucial role in selecting the right wormer. Worms have different life stages, including eggs, larvae, and adults. Most wormers are designed to target specific stages of the worms' lifecycle, and some are more effective against certain stages than others.
For example, some wormers are effective against the adult stage of the worms, while others target the larvae. The larvae of some types of worms can become encysted, which means they become dormant and can remain in the horse's body for months or even years. Encysted larvae are often resistant to certain types of wormers, which is why it's important to use a variety of wormers and to rotate them to ensure that all stages of the worms are targeted.
When it comes to rotating horse wormers, it's important to work with a veterinarian to develop a personalized worming program for your horse based on their specific needs and the local seasonal cycles. This can help ensure that your horse stays healthy and free of worms throughout the year.
