Administration :
Insert syringe in the gap between the front and back teeth and deliver paste onto the back of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse’s head for a few seconds after dosing thus ensuring the swallowing of the paste. Furthermore, before administration, ensure that the horse does not have food in its mouth. Additionaly, make sure to determine the body mass of the horse accurately in order to maximise the use of the paste.
Suggested worm control programme :
Include all horses in a regular worm control programme, thus ensuring. Mares: Regular dosing at 6-8 week intervals on pastures during summer and autumn is recommended. Stallions: Treat at least twice a year. Foals: Regular strategic treatment at 6-8 week intervals, commencing at approximately two months of age, is recommended.
Bots: Bot fly activity increases in the late spring and usually peaks in the autumn with a consequent accumulation of stomach bot carried in the winter. Treatment against bots attached to the stomach wall is essential to remove established burdens in the autumn and winter.
Finally Consult your veterinarian for a worm control programme. Horses of all ages, including pregnant mares, breeding stallions and foals can be treated with no adverse effects.
