Developing a deworming program for your horse
Internal parasites or worms
are a constant concern for equine
owners. Parasites can cause ill
ness, digestive upset and damage,
and colic episodes. All horses have
some present in their system. The
horse picks up parasites from its
environm ent and through other
horses’ manure. These parasites
develop from the larvae stage to
adult stage inside the horse while
robbing the horse o f nutrients and
damaging the digestive tract lin
ing and other parts o f the body.
The different classes o f parasites
that can affect a horse are:
Large
and
Small
Strongyles : found in all age
classes o f horses. The larvae o f
large strongyles migrate through
parts o f the body, and burrow into
the walls o f the arteries that are
the primary blood supplier to the
small and large intestine. This m i
gration can result in the formation
o f blood clots, disrupting the blood
flow to th e in te stin e s. Sm all
strongyles attach to the large in
testine wall and can cause diar
rhea, loss o f appetite, and colic.
Pin Worms: Pin worms are
found in horses o f all ages. Horses
ingest eggs from feed or w ater
contaminated with manure, or by
licking walls or fences. The lar
vae mature in the horse’s intes
tines, then as adults, the females
move to the rectum and deposit
sticky eggs around the anal area.
The damage caused by pinworms
is external due to intense itching
and scratching o f the tail area and
loss o f tail hair.
Ascarids
(Round
W orm s):These internal parasites
are m ainly a problem in young
horses under a year o f age. The
round worms cause poor growth,
rough hair coat, pot belly, chronic
respiratory problems and some
times death. M ost o f their dam
age is caused by their migration
to the liver and lungs.
Bots:The adult bot fly lays
eggs on the horse’s legs, chest,
throatlatch or chin areas. Some
can hatch due to licking. The lar
vae burrow into the horse’s mouth
tissue causing ulcers. After about
3 weeks they emerge and move
to the stomach and sma.ll intestine
where they suck blood, causing
inflammation and ulceration o f the
lining. B'ot flies lay their eggs in
the fall so control should be ad
dressed by removing the eggs on
the horse’s body and deworming
with a bot specific product (see
chart) after the first hard frost.

eggs are ingested by mites that
are, in turn, ingested by the horse
while grazing or eating hay. They
trayel to the the area where the
small intestine and cecum meet.
H igh num bers can cause colic.
These parasites are less o f a prob
lem in dry areas o f the country.
Deworming management is
important to keep parasite counts
low. Fecal exams can help deter
m ine the types and num ber o f
parasites present. O w ners can
check with the Extension Office
or they can take fresh samples o f
manure to their local Veterinarian
to run the fecal exam and provide
feed b ack on w h at w orm s are
present. Resistance to worming
products is becoming more o f a
concern, so only use dewormers
w h en n e e d e d an d in p ro p e r
amounts. Some horses will natu
rally carry a heavier parasite load
than others and may require a spe
cific worming program. This is
called selective deworming. Some
program s schedule a change o f
product with each deworming. It
is im portant to change class o f
dewormers and not ju st product
name. This is called rotational de
worming.
If a new horse arrives on the
property w ithout any previous
colic. It is som etimes better to
give a less effective or less broad ‘;
dewormer such as a Benzimida
zole or Pyrimidine product to avoid
digestive concerns. Recording the
weight, product and amount given c
each time is part o f a good man- ,
agement system.
management history, it is advisable
to be cautious with the first dew
orming. If the horse is heavily in
fested with parasites, deworming
with a very broad and effective
dew orm er; i.e., an Iverm ectin
product, could cause an extensive
kill, causing digestive blockage and
