Elite Veteran Posts: 725	I have heard that it is best to send a manure sample in to the vet and check for any worms or parasites before you worm to make sure it is necessary so worms don't get immune to all wormers, we still worm regularly but I thought I would just throw that out there. Has anyone else heard about this?

Member Posts: 9	It is best to send manure samples in and only worm when needed as parasites can become immune to wormers. I would recommend rotating between the 3 classes of wormers. We live in the Midwest with freezing winters so worm as listed below Anthelcide in March Quest plus in June Panacur or Safe-guard in September Equimax in December after ground is frozen Some vets recommend worming every 2 months. We do worm our colts every 2 months rotating between the 3 classes of wormers I'm sure other people will have different ideas but this works for us with the climate we live in
