Suggested Parasite Control Program:

Treat all horses due for treatment on the property at the same time.

• Foals: Treat initially at 68 weeks of age, then continue routine treatments.
• Young horses, brood mares, yearlings and horses with high reinfection risk: Treat every 68 weeks.
• Horses lightly stocked in large paddocks: Treat every 1012 weeks.

All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program. Consult your veterinarian for a program suited to your property and management conditions.
