Why Fecal Egg Counts for Horses are Important

Dr. Nicole Rambo dives into the importance of fecal egg counts for managing parasite burdens in horses. She discusses how fecal egg counts can inform targeted deworming strategies, reducing the risk of resistance to anthelmintics and promoting overall herd health. The conversation covers the timing of fecal egg counts relative to deworming, the impact of age and health on parasite susceptibility, and the use of pre and probiotics to support the horse's GI tract. Practical advice on performing fecal egg counts and working with veterinarians is also provided.
