Resistance to wormers is growing. A sustainable approach to equine worm control that moves away from routine, blanket worming in favour of targeted testing and management strategies is advised.

Regular worm egg counts and tests, supported by risk assessment and good field management like poo picking, really help ensure treatments are only used when necessary. Shop worm egg counts here

We support the use of the CANTER risk assesment calculator, which helps owners understand whether their horse is low, medium or high risk of parasite infection. By using this framework to inform a test-based parasite control plan, we can help owners build a tailored sustainable programme for their horse
