Northern Hemisphere horse owners are being reminded that winter is the ideal time to treat horses for encysted small redworm, the larval stages of the small redworm.
The destructive critters hibernate in the lining of the horse’s gut where they won’t show up in a faecal worm egg count. They usually emerge in the early spring and may cause a condition known as larval cyathostominosis, resulting in diarrhoea and colic, with a high death rate.
International animal health company Zoetis says every horse should receive an annual treatment to combat encysted small redworm, ideally during November/December and certainly before the spring arrives.
“It’s imperative that the correct wormer is used, but worryingly one in three horse owners are still struggling to get it right. Last year’s National Equine Health Survey showed that only that 64% of those who specified how they treated for encysted small redworm had correctly used a wormer containing moxidectin and 7% had used fenbendazole,” Zoetis said.
“However, of the remainder, 22.5% had incorrectly used a wormer containing ivermectin, which does not treat for encysted stages and 6.3% had used products licensed for tapeworm treatment only.”
There are only two active ingredients licensed to treat for encysted small redworm: a single dose of moxidectin or a five-day course of fenbendazole. Resistance to fenbendazole is now widespread in the UK so a resistance test is recommended before using it.
Given the prolonged mild conditions this winter it is advisable to carefully consider any de-worming plans to ensure it continues to be suitable for your horse. Small redworm eggs and larvae can survive on the pasture for longer when it’s warmer, increasing the window of opportunity for grazing horses to become infected.
“Don’t assume that because your horse looks well there isn’t a problem. Encysted small redworm won’t show up in a faecal worm egg count. They may not cause any obvious symptoms either so you may not know your horse has got them,” Zoetis veterinary surgeon Wendy Talbot said.
“Always discuss your worm control plan with your vet or suitably qualified person (SQP) and use the right product at the right time to safeguard your horse’s health. Remember to assess weight using a weigh tape or weigh bridge to avoid under-dosing and to prevent building resistance.”

здесь. Фенбендазол это панакур, и вот в другом источнике указывалось, что конкретно против цист - двойная доза. Мне интересно, кто-нибудь гонит по такой схеме?

Арапель, я была давно когда-то в Витебске, потом только проездом. Очень красивые города, люблю Беларусь. По прежнему не ассоциирую ее с другой страной, как и Украину.
Недавно была у Алены (Теры), мои знакомые купили у нее лошадей. Немного прогулялась по Минску, красотища. Жалела, что не могла остаться подольше) Может еще как нибудь получится.
вся эта гоп-компания уже очень утомила.
