Dewormers are a common treatment for internal parasites in horses. It is important that horse owners use the correct type of dewormer at the appropriate dosage to ensure dewormers remain effective on their farm.
A dewormer is an antiparasitic drug (known as an anthelmintic) given to an animal to destroy or inhibit the development of internal parasites. All domestic horses have some level of internal parasite load, and dewormers are given to help manage these loads to avoid undesirable health issues that can accompany large parasite populations. Many dewormer products are available for treatment, so it is important that you consider the type of dewormer needed and current resistance to that dewormer when selecting which product you will use. The goal of treatment with dewormer is not to eradicate the parasites, which is almost impossible, but instead to manage the internal parasite load at a level that your horse will remain healthy.
