EQUINE WORMING
We recommend horses be dewormed every 6-8 weeks.
- Horses on Strongid C 2X should be dewormed twice yearly. Ivermectin is recommended or the ivermectin / praziquantel combo.
- Foals are dewormed at a dose double their weight with Panacur at 7 days and 3 weeks of age. Deworm every 6 weeks thereafter. Mares should be dewormed within first week after foaling.
COLIC
Colic is any kind of stomachache, such as gas, diarrhea, constipation and twisted intestines.
(Fact: Horses have over 100 feet of intestine.)
Colic is the #1 cause of death in horses.
BOVINE
Your vaccination schedule for 4-month-old calves should include the following:
- Black Leg (8-Way Clostridial)
- Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Viral (BRSV)
- Brucellosis between 4 and 12 months (heifers only)
- Worming
Your vaccination schedule for cattle 6 months and older should include:
- Black Leg (8-Way Clostridial) once yearly
- Lepto/Vibrio once yearly
- Respiratory once yearly
- Worming 2-3 times yearly
After 3 weeks of age, nearly one-third of beef cattle deaths are due to respiratory disease. We suggest vaccinating cows pre-breeding and pre-calving as compared to only pre-calving.
Maintain adult vaccination schedules after the initial series of vaccinations are complete. This applies to any animal.
