Intervet Foal Care ProgramSM

A pregnant mare or her foal have special healthcare needs. Caring for these two unique classes of equines is completely different from any other horse. Different vaccinations, different deworming schedules, different nutritional needs - just to name a few.

The Intervet Foal Care Program is a comprehensive guide to healthcare from prebreeding through the foal's first birthday.



Intervet Range of Dewormers

Deworming your horse is made easier when you can choose the delivery method that works best for you and your horse. Panacur®(fenbendazole) and Safe-Guard® (fenbendazole) are the only horse dewormers on the market today that are available in several easy and convenient forms so you can choose the right method for your horse.

Fenbendazole, the active ingredient, is safe for deworming horses, including foals and pregnant mares and is very effective against the typical adult equine parasites (i.e. roundworms, pinworms, Strongylus vulgaris, S. edentatus, S. equinus and all stages of the encysted small strongyles).
