Take control of your horse’s worming regime


Do you get confused by the minefield of wormers? Are you worried about parasite resistance? Do you find it hard to manage your horse’s worming regime? If you have answered yes to any of the previous questions sign up now to EQVALAN®s SMART on-line worming planner and take control.


EQVALAN’s SMART worming campaign encourages owners to Simply Monitor, Assess Risk and, if necessary, Treat with the most appropriate wormer and this simple to use planner allows you to record individual horses and their worming programme to date, helping you to keep track of when you last wormed or used a worm egg count (WEC) and the results. Additionally, the planner will alert you when a further WEC or treatment is recommended. The SMART worming planner keeps track of your worming routine, so you can concentrate on other things, safe in the knowledge that you will be alerted by email when the time has come to worm or test again.


Worm egg counts

An important part of EQVALAN’s SMART worming campaign is the use of worm egg counts (WECs). These allow you to simply take a sample from your horse, send it away to be analysed by an independent specialist laboratory and the results will be returned to you, along with a recommendation of whether worming is necessary at that time.*. WECs are an important weapon in the fight against worm resistance and Merial makes it simple to test your horse, thereby only worming when necessary.

If you have already participated in EQVALAN’s WEC programme, your planner will already contain these details; you can then add to this existing information for a complete picture of your horse’s worming regime.
