π© Nobody enjoys poo picking.
It isn't glamorous, it isn't exciting, and it always seems to be the job that gets left until later.
But when it comes to worm control, good field management is one of the most important things you can do.
Regular poo picking helps reduce the number of worm eggs and larvae on your pasture, lowering the risk of horses picking them up while grazing.
Think of it this way. You can spend money on wormers and worm egg counts, but if droppings are left building up in the field, you're making life much harder for yourself.
Good worm control isn't just about what's happening inside the horse. It's about managing the environment too.
So next time you're out with the wheelbarrow wondering why you own horses, just remember you're doing more for their health than you might think.
How often do you poo pick your fields? Every day, a few times a week, or whenever you get chance? π
