If nothing is done about parasites, serious health problems can arise in horses. Untreated parasite infestation can lead to significant weight loss, malnutrition, digestive disorders and loss of performance. In advanced cases, even life-threatening conditions such as severe colic or anemia can occur. It is therefore crucial to take preventive measures to protect the health of horses.
A parasite infestation in horses can manifest itself through various symptoms. These include weight loss, dull coat, reduced performance, diarrhea, colic, loss of appetite and visible restlessness or itching.
The frequency of deworming for horses varies and should be tailored to the individual needs of the horse and depends on factors such as the risk of infection, grazing and the horse's state of health. In general, it is advisable to check the horse's feces for the presence of parasites using a laboratory test before using a worming treatment.
Horses can have several types of parasites, including internal parasites such as intestinal worms (strongylides, roundworms) and lungworms, which are ingested through food or grass. External parasites include lice, mites and flies that live on the horse's skin or coat. Ticks and horseflies are other examples of parasites that can transmit disease. Proper parasitic control, including regular deworming and preventative measures, is important to keep horses healthy.
Various preventive measures can be taken against parasites in horses. These include a clean stable environment to minimize external parasites and the use of insect-repellent products such as fly masks. In addition, essential oils (e.g. in our ZeckEx SpotOn) can be used to mask odors. The horse can be given herbs through its diet that have a high proportion of bitter and tannin substances and thus ensure an intestinal environment that is hostile to worms. These are contained, for example, in our 'EquiGreen WK-Mix' or in the 'Leckstein Wilde Kräuter'. A balanced diet and regular care also help to strengthen the immune system and protect against parasites.
