Worming
without the horseplay
Syringe handling, horse acceptance and the tendency
to spit out some or all of the paste are common
problems reported by owners when worming their
horses1. In fact, more than 55% admit that these
issues can result in a mixture of emotions, including
frustration, anxiety and upset2. The launch of
Vectin chewable tablets means that help is finally
at hand for owners who may end up wearing most
of the product following a stressful worming session.

Thankfully there is
little horseplay when administering Vectin
chewable tablets – simply hold out
your hand for an effective and enjoyable worming experience.
The more civilized approach to worming, field studies
showed more than 70% spontaneous acceptance by horses
and the simple calculation of one tablet for every
110kg of a horse or foal’s bodyweight helps
to reduce wastage as unused tablets can be stored
away for future use.
Protection is not compromised by the simple delivery
of Vectin chewable tablets; the key active ingredient,
ivermectin, is a mainstay in current worming programmes
due to its safety and efficacy against a broad spectrum
of internal and external equine parasites. Used as
part of a strategic worming plan, Vectin chewable
tablets control potentially fatal parasites including
small and large strongyles (also known as redworms),
and stomach bots which can cause colic.
Vectin chewable tablets are available as a seven-tablet
blister pack, perfect for treating a horse or a couple
of ponies. For yards, a tub of 60 tablets is available,
containing enough to treat approximately 12 horses
in one go.
Vectin chewable tablets are recommended for use within
Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health’s Active3
worming plan, a strategic three-year approach to delay
the onset of wormer resistance, and should be used
alongside Panacur and Pyratype P.
