Location: Texas | If you are talking about Protazil, I can say it's definitely not affordable to feed every day. Are you talking about as a preventative? Or choosing that as treatment? |

Location: Oklahoma | as a treatment. I was thinking there was some stuff for epm that you put in their feed everyday. My horse has epm and that's why I was asking if anyone done this. |

Yeah rebalance is pretty affordable and thats usually the product trainers suggest treating preemptively with.
There is an oral EPM pellet called Protazil, and it's pretty dang expensive.. Hard to find it for under $700. But again Marquis is expensive as well. So if you need to treat for EPM anyway, and are OK with the cost, I've heard good things about Protazil. |

Location: Beggs, OK | We were plagued with EPM for years until we cut out grain.....my daily EPM preventative is OE Align and a forage only diet. My horses look better than ever and my vet bills are at the lowest they've ever been. No ulcers, EPM, and few injections.
EPM is 100% about gut health.

Location: Oklahoma | He doesn’t get grain. And I don’t believe epm gut health only. It’s a parasite. And there is no cure. I believe it can be in so called remission I do believe gut health is huge with everything! |

We had one get it from the pasture they were eating from a few years ago. At the time the horses didn't get hay or grain because there was more than enough grass for them to eat. There's nothing you can do to keep them safe from it really, there's so many ways for them to get it. |

| Protazil is fantastic.
I like to get them on a cheap EPM med and if I see the least bit of change, I buy the Protazil.

Location: Beggs, OK | I don't know how to explain our good fortune....We treated ten or more horses and several of them multiple times. We live on the same property and have done nothing different with our pastures. Literally the only change we made was going grain free and keeping them on a digestive supplement. We have not treated a single horse in 3-1/2 years. Mine all look and perform better than ever. |
