Over the last few years, the American Association for Equine Practicioners’ (AAEP) recommendations for equine deworming protocols have changed significantly to move towards a deworming model based around each horse’s individual needs. Understanding how to utilize these science-based deworming protocols and management tactics can help you improve your horse’s parasite control program and well-being.
