Deworming Recommendations
There are two methods used for deworming horses. The first method is to administer paste dewormers every 6-8 weeks. The second method is to keep the horse on a daily dewormer and paste deworm twice a year. 1. Paste Deworming Protocol: This schedule is recommended for the Northeastern United States for horses not on a continuous deworming program.( i.e. daily Strongid C 2X):
**Remember to read the active ingredient. For example fenbendazole is the active ingredient in Panacur and Safeguard.
2. Daily Deworming Protocol Deworm December and June with Ivermectin/praziquantel combination(Equimax) and keep horse on a daily dewormer, pyrantel pamoate (Strongid 2 x). If you choose this protocol, we recommend enrolling in the Preventicare Program offered by Pfizer.
