At Whitethorn Equine Health we offer the following plant extracts periodically to reduce and control worm burden. This tack room kit is composed of the following:

  • Neem fixed oil 100g- Organic
  • Neem power 100g - Organic
  • Garlic essential oil 5ml
  • Clove essential oil 5ml- Organic
  • Thyme essential oil 5ml - Organic
  • Wormwood powder 50g 5:1 concentrate

The essential oils listed above are also commonly selected for infection and abscesses therefore they have multiple uses in Zoopharmacognosy!

​

Along with offering the above we take quarterly faecal egg counts to ascertain level of burden. As a precaution we worm once annually for worms undetectable in dung samples such as bots. We favour a holistic approach to worm control implementing a variety of measures to this end. See below for measures to consider when applying the holistic approach.

Other measures you may consider taking to control worm burden are as follows:
  • Rotational grazing
  • Topping your fields regularly
  • Dung picking
  • Offer extracts for immune support
  • Avoid intensive grazing 
  • Take dung samples for testing regularly
  • Consider inter-species grazing 
  • Test and treat a new addition to your herd prior to admitting it into the paddocks - unless you commit to thorough dung picking
