Using worm egg counts can also reduce the resistance that develops through the continual use of chemicals which can lead to conventional wormers being less effective and the worm burden increase in the horse.Egg counts are also better for the environment. Using wormers containing chemicals can reduce the natural breakdown of dung as the chemicals can kill the dung beetle.Knowing if, when and what action to take is essential, this is why using a worm egg count programme is such a valuable management tool for your horses health and wellbeing.Close Description
