Broad-spectrum horse worming

Determine the horse’s body mass as accurately as possible before treatment. Underdosing may result in inadequate parasite control and can contribute to anthelmintic resistance.

How to administer

Before administering Equimax NF for Horses 7.49g, ensure that the horse does not have food in its mouth.

Insert the syringe into the gap between the front and back teeth and deposit the required amount of paste onto the back of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse’s head for a few seconds to help ensure that the paste is swallowed.

Suitable for horses of all ages

Virbac states that Equimax can be used in horses of all ages, including pregnant mares, breeding stallions and foals. Pregnant mares should still be handled with the usual additional care to avoid unnecessary stress during treatment.

Parasite-control requirements vary according to the horse’s age, grazing environment, stocking density, season and previous treatments. Faecal egg count testing and veterinary guidance can help develop an appropriate worm-control programme and reduce unnecessary treatment.
