More Info
It is near impossible to overestimate the potential damage that intestinal parasites do to horses. Prior to development of the modern dewormers of the late 70's you could safely say that horses’ life spans were fairly well limited by that damage, particularly large strongyle larvae migration. The cause of the death did not happen all of a sudden but by damage accumulated over time. Even with modern dewormers, if not used appropriately, we pay for parasites with increase vet bills, increased feed bills and horses that don't look their best. Fortunately most deworming regimens have removed the dangerous large strongyle threat but other less dangerous parasites may be nibbling at your pocketbook daily.
