Who is the culprit?
One of these horses has an egg count of over 1400epg, shedding huge numbers of parasite eggs onto the pasture. One hasn't been wormed for months and has an extremely low - zero egg output. They have all been grazed together for several years...
Due to overuse of chemical dewormers for the past few decades, we are now finding the treatments are much less effective. Parasitic worms have evolved to become resistant to all the drug classes we previously relied on and we have to use other strategies in order to extend the time we have with these chemicals. Resistant worms pass the resistant gene to their offspring and there's no way back!
No more blind worming! We must treat only the horses with a high enough burden.
Finding out which those are is extremely simple and very inexpensive....
