We are treating horses with 3 types of paste: strongid, anthelvan,and ivermectin every other month intervally. Can we also use this program for pregnant mares ? or is there a special deworming program for pregnant mares?
Please let me know as soon as possible. My mares are getting skinny....

Hello Hiroshi,
No the deworming for pregnant mares is the same but your current program is lacking. Read the article associated with this forum for better programs. You might also want to study:
