Virbac is leading the way in strategic worming programs for horses based on the parasite lifecycle, risk of disease and likely resistance status of worms. This is important to slow down resistance.
A good program:
• Targets the horses that most need treatment and reduces chemical usage in the other horses
• Uses faecal egg count monitoring
• Avoids over usage of chemicals from the same class
• Includes products containing pyrantel to ensure adequate control in resistant small strongyles or roundworm
• Uses moxidectin no more than once a year when treatment for encysted small strongyles is specifically indicated
• Strategically treats horses based on worm lifecycles and time of year
• Avoids using single active wormers year after year
Equimax LV is registered for use in horses which means it may be safely used in horses. The use of this product in any other species would be considered “off label use”. Products should not be used outside of their registered label claims without first consulting a veterinarian (if at all).
