DEWORMING PRINCIPALS

• Consult veterinarian to develop a strategic deworming program designed for farm and region.
• Focus on ascarid control during the first 6 months (Note: Ivermectin resistance among ascarids is widespread; fenbendazole and pyrantel are preferred anthelmintics).
• Treat all youngsters less than 2 years old as high shedders.
• Include at least one larvicidal treatment (e.g., Panacur^® POWERPAC) for small strongyles and ascarids during the foal’s first year.
• Use bi-annual fecal exams in weanlings and yearlings to evaluate efficacy of parasite control program.
• Use a weight tape or scale to estimate foal’s weight to ensure accurate dosing.

VACCINATION PRINCIPLES

• Work with veterinarian to customize vaccination schedule that takes into account region of country, endemic diseases on farm and foal’s risk of disease exposure.
• Foal is ready for first vaccinations at 4-6 months of age if dam was vaccinated and foal had IgG > 800 mg/dl when born.
