Description
What are encysted inhibited and encysted mucosal small redworms?
Encysted small redworms are larvae and immature adult redworm that burrow into the wall of the horse’s intestine and ‘hibernate’ there over the winter months, whilst they mature. Here, they are not detected by the horse’s immune system, so can grow undisturbed until the warmer spring weather arrives. It is important to treat for this stage of the small redworm because mass emergence of the encysted mucosal small redworm in spring can cause parasitic diarrhoea, mild recurring colic, listlessness, weakness and appetite and weight loss.
How to administer Equine Guard
For the treatment and control of encysted small redworm administer 5ml of the product per 65kg bodyweight daily for five days. This product can easily be administered by mixing with grain or concentrate feed, however the full daily dose must be administered in one feed. Pregnant mares and foals may also be safely treated with fenbendazole at therapeutic doses.
