421.0. "Scheduling and Rotating Wormers" by MED::D_SMITH () Mon Nov 23 1987 10:28

    
    Who is correct as far as worming when and for what?
    I being a beginner (I admit)in such detail, am confused as to who's
    schedule is the most accurate!!!
    
    I read the note containing the Rochester Equine Clinic Worming
    Schedule, but our vet gave us a copy of her schedule showing 
    a big difference. From what I understand about paresites and 
    their life cycles, our vet's looks to be more on the money.
                                              
    For example R.E.C shows the use of Strongid T. for the month of
    December where as Sally McCreery's schedule shows Strongid in
    the months April and October and shows winter worming for bots 
    using the active ingredience Trichlorfon contained in Telmin "B"
    and Negabot in December (being late fall and early winter).
    
    Who is who and what is what. Is the R.E.C. in the notes file a 
    misprint (copied incorrectly) or is Sally's the ticket?
    
    Here is her schedule;
    
       DECEMBER           EQVALAN PASTE         WINTER WORMING FOR BOTS  
    
       FEBRUARY           PANACUR                 
    
       APRIL              STRONGID              DOUBLE DOSE FOR TAPEWORMS
    
       JUNE               EQVALAN PASTE         
    
       AUGUST             EQUIPAR
    
       OCTOBER            STRONGID              DOUBLE DOSE FOR TAPEWORMS
    
    Is determining a worming schedule up to one's self by understanding
    the life cycle of paresites and what pests are present in one's horse
    and following the rule of rotation of active igr.?
    Or are there pre-established schedules and who's is the most accurate?
                               
    Any comments from those with proven methods and plans of attach?

421.1	info needed on wormers	ROLL::PARSONS		`Tue Nov 24 1987 12:38`	12
	I can't help you with your worming questions, but since you put this note here I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer for me. I need to know the chemical ingredient for equipar and panacur I could not find these two wormers. I've decided to try the Rochester Equine's schedule but I worm every eight weeks, since I just wormed in Sept. with ivermectin I've just wormed her middle Nov. with strongid. After reading your note I'm not sure which schedule to follow. Becky
421.2	Coming or Going	MED::D_SMITH		`Tue Nov 24 1987 13:37`	4
	Sounds like you went down the same road I did and arrived at the end. One person says turn right, the other says turn left. Does either direction take you to the same place or what Ricky whaaaaat??? Lucy is so confused!
421.3	Panacur	MED::D_SMITH		`Tue Nov 24 1987 13:48`	7
	I know the answer for one of two questions you had. Panacur contains Fenbenclazole which must be a new ingredient or a combination of two or more because I cannot find it listed anywhere. except on the container. But I'm sure someone will explain someday.
421.4	could be the location	NOETIC::KOLBE	laughing on the outside...	`Wed Nov 25 1987 19:18`	6
	I think some of the differences in worming schedules are due to the location. My vet says we don't have to worm as often in Colorado as they do in milder climates. My mare is on a 2 month rotation now with bot killers in the spring and fall but I bet in many states you would have to worm every month. liesl
421.5	wormers from wholesale houses?	DANUBE::HARPER		`Fri Dec 18 1987 14:26`	12
	I guess I don't completely understand all the hoopla about worming, but then I'm pretty much of a novice. I got my mares a year and a half ago and just went along with the schedule that my vet gave. I worm them with strongid, panacur and ivermectin four times a year and have stool samples checked twice a year and am having no trouble so far. Maybe I'm just lucky!! I have recently subscribed to "Horses Illustrated" which has an add every month for wormers of different varieties and strengths as what seems like a very good price. Does anyone know if there are any problems ordering wormers from wholesale houses?
421.6	wholesalers are o.k.	VOLGA::PORTER		`Mon Dec 21 1987 07:02`	8
	Due to the fact I have three horses and the high price of wormers i have been buying all of my wormers and vaccines from mail-away wholesalers. I have never had any problem, the expiration dates are far enough out so I only have to buy twice a year. The savings is incredible, I have saved as much as 50% at times. Having dealt with some large barns (up to 13 horses) I know they also are buying this way, with no problems.
