INDIVIDUALIZED DEWORMING™ IN FOUR EASY STEPS

STEP 1 — ESTABLISH A BASELINE FECAL EGG COUNT

Ask your veterinarian to perform a fecal egg count (FEC) test on your horse’s fresh feces to determine your horse’s current parasite shedding level. This will establish the current level of parasite shedding.

An FEC should be completed annually.

STEP 2 — ASSESS SHEDDING LEVEL

The FEC test will determine your horse’s parasite shedding level. Less than 200 eggs per gram may indicate low risk of parasite burden, while greater than 500 eggs per gram may indicate a horse is at a higher risk of parasite burden and environmental contamination.

STEP 3 — KNOW YOUR VARIABLES

All horses have unique risk factors that affect their vulnerability to parasites. Risk evaluation is integral to successful deworming strategies.

STEP 4 — CUSTOMIZE DEWORMING TREATMENTS

After assessing FEC shedding levels and your horse’s unique risk profile, design a plan based on one of the three customizable levels of Individualized Deworming™ — low, medium or high.

Your horse’s risk factors for parasite infection determine the deworming treatment needs. Use this checklist to work with the veterinarian on your team to assess your horse’s parasite risk level:

• FECAL EGG COUNT (FEC) TEST RESULTS

• AGE OF HORSE

• LOCAL CLIMATE

• MANURE REMOVAL

• PASTURE ROTATION

• MOVEMENT OF HORSES ON AND OFF THE FARM

• PASTURE POPULATION

• TYPE OF PASTURE

- Lush - Overgrown - Dry lot - Mixture

• MANAGEMENT

- Individual stalls - Individual pastures - Small group pastures - Large group pastures

• FEEDING

- Individually - Group - On the ground - Off the ground

• USE OF HORSE

- Show, performance or racing - Recreational riding - Companion

EQUINE DEWORMING SOLUTIONS TO MEET YOUR HORSE’S NEEDS

SINGLE DOSE TREATMENTS

QUEST® and QUEST® PLUS Gel are the only FDA-approved dewormers that treat and control encysted small strongyles, bots and roundworms in a single dose. QUEST PLUS offers the same effectiveness as QUEST, but also treats and controls tapeworms, an important annual treatment in late fall.

PROVEN EFFECTIVE

In a study, horses treated with moxidectin, the active ingredient in QUEST and QUEST PLUS, showed a 99.9% reduction in fecal egg counts compared with only a 42% reduction in horses treated with five double-dose tubes of fenbendazole, marketed as Panacur® Powerpac or Safe-Guard® Power-Dose®.1,*

LONG LASTING

QUEST and QUEST PLUS are the only FDA-approved products to suppress the production of small strongyle eggs, and a recent study showed egg suppression persisted for 90 days.1

CONFIRMED SAFE

QUEST and QUEST PLUS are safe for horses of various ages and life stages. QUEST and QUEST PLUS are the only products approved to treat encysted small strongyles in breeding mares and stallions. Additionally, QUEST is approved for use in foals 6 months of age and older.

Do not use QUEST Gel or QUEST PLUS Gel in foals less than 6 months of age or in sick, debilitated and underweight horses. Do not use in other animal species, as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.

PARASITE RISK FACTORS

Per AAEP guidelines, horses at high risk of parasite infection should be treated in the summer or winter for the removal and control of roundworms, threadworms and pinworms. ANTHELCIDE® EQ Paste is effective against these parasites and has shown efficacy against benzimidazole-resistant strongyles.2

Safely and effectively removes and controls various internal parasites such as roundworms, large strongyles, small strongyles and pinworms in horses and ponies, including pregnant and lactating mares and young foals.

As STRONGID® Paste can be used in horses ages 2 months or older, it is a great option for young foals where roundworms are the primary concern.3

The most important tool in your equine parasite control arsenal is your veterinarian. Prior to purchasing a dewormer, ask the veterinarian on your team to do a fecal egg count (FEC) test.
