A PhD student describes her recent experience applying her research skills during an equine community outreach event.
Study results revealed that three commercially available dewormers showed poor efficacy on the majority of farms tested.
The study evaluated the effectiveness of ivermectin and fenbendazole, as well as owners’ deworming practices.
This could encourage the use of targeted deworming programs to help reduce parasite resistance, scientists said.
Anthelmintic resistance occurs worldwide. With only three drug classes to choose from, are we running out of options?
In the past, researchers developed new classes of antiparasitic compounds every 10 years or so. But what works today?
Take an up-close look at common internal parasites and the damage they can do to your horse. Also learn about parasite resistance and the drugs and management methods that can help control certain worms.
Find out how a fecal egg count test can help you better target the parasites in your horse herd.
A recent study suggests small strongyles might not behave the same way in foals as they do in adult horses.
With parasites’ growing resistance to anthelmintic drugs, owners must focus their control efforts on another area: pasture management.
Researchers found that samples can be refrigerated for up to a week without adverse effects on egg counts.
Know the characteristics of these common equine parasites, as well as the mechanisms and effects of common deworming compounds.
Overall horses coped well with parasites. But the heavier the parasite load, the lower the horse’s body condition score.
Researchers are working to help us better evaluate and manage parasites in the face of anthelmintic resistance.
