DOes anyone use the SLH herbal wormer anymore? I did years ago and really couldn't tell a difference. Just wondering if anyone currently uses it?

It is all I have used for the last 8 years when I quit using chemical dewormers. I don't do fecals, but rather use what my horses look like. They aren't on any particular schedule and when I feel they look like they need it, they get it. I have never had any issues with it or an over infestation. I live in the desert and my horses are dry lotted with hay to eat, so there is not a major parasite problem as it is. Had a colt that was not shedding out as well and had the pot belly to her last month, gave her the product for the 10 days and she is filled back out and slicked off now.

Diatomaceous Earth from your Coop is very effective as well...

I use liquid copper to deworm. Get it from my blood analysis guy. Just can't do pregnant mares with it.

I read somewhere that Oil of Oregano acts as a natural dewormer as well. I feed it fairly often as well.

How much of the oregano do you use?

I just started one of mine on THE with their herbal wormer in it. He's getting a bit of a pot belly and not shedding out right so we'll see if it makes a difference!

Aristotle actually writes that at the time horses were known for being put out on very fresh green grass in the spring as this made their manure runnier and caused a sort of natural deworming. It's an interesting concept.

I personally would be against a daily deworming of anything though because either the horse's body or the worms are going to develop a resistance.

Periodic is better.
