Natural dewormers for horses

Intestinal parasites can cause colic, but above all they attack a horse's digestive and immune systems: as the seasons go by, they unobtrusively weaken the horse's immune system (reduced general condition, dull coat, reduced appetite, anemia, diarrhea and constipation, stunted growth, abortion due to colic...).
Give the horse a dewormer containing molecules designed to destroy the parasites present in each season.

Generally speaking, horse dewormers are used 3 to 4 times a year for adult horses, especially if they live in pasture:

December/January (not ultra-obligatory, but this is the tapeworm development period)
March/April
June/July
September/October

The importance of deworming

Horses are particularly exposed to internal parasites, as they frequently ingest eggs or larvae of parasites present in their environment, notably in contaminated grass, water or pasture. Parasites mainly affect the digestive system, but their effects can spread to other organs. Untreated infestation can lead to serious complications, such as colic, anemia, weight loss and reduced performance.

Dewormers work by eliminating internal parasites or disrupting their life cycle. They are essential for :

Prevent clinical complications linked to massive infestations.
Reduce parasite loads in the environment.
Limit the development of parasite resistance, by adopting rational management.

Main types of internal parasites

Horses can be infested by different types of internal parasites, each with specific characteristics:

Strongyles (small and large): These intestinal parasites are the most common in horses. Small strongyles, in particular, form encysted larvae that are difficult to eliminate, while large strongyles can cause severe colic by damaging blood vessels.
Ascaris: More common in foals and young horses, these parasites cause intestinal obstructions and interfere with nutrient absorption.
Tapeworms: These segmented parasites attach themselves to the junction between the small and large intestines, causing inflammation and colic.
Oxyures: cause itching in the anus, leading to discomfort and friction lesions.
Gastérophiles: These parasites, in the larval stage, settle in the stomach after being ingested in the form of eggs deposited on hair by flies.

Deworming strategy

Effective deworming is based on a reasoned strategy that takes into account the age, lifestyle and state of health of the horse, as well as the prevalence of parasites in its environment.

Before deworming, a coproscopy can be performed to assess the parasite load by counting the eggs present in the stool. This method can be used to adapt the frequency and choice of dewormers.

Frequency :

Foals and Young Horses: frequent deworming (every 2 to 3 months) due to their increased sensitivity to roundworms.
Adult horses: A targeted approach, with 2 to 4 treatments per year, is recommended, based on coproscopy results.
Collectively-owned horses: Collective deworming management is essential to reduce the risk of reinfestation.

To avoid the development of resistance, it is advisable to vary the classes of dewormer used, respecting the life cycles of the targeted parasites.
