Worming

We follow a veterinary advised worming schedule here on our farms. A lot of the animals that come into us have a high burden of worms. We quarantine, sample egg count and treat every animal on our farms. Worm infestation can have a detrimental effect on equines and young stock are especially vulnerable.
Always consult veterinary advise if you have any queries in relation to worm infestations and before starting a worming program.
