The challenge to control equine endoparasites is not new; however, given the widespread resistance to all classes of anthelmintic drugs there is an urgent need to implement a more targeted approach to worm control and this applies particularly to the stud farm with a wide age range of animals. Previously, the risk of worm-associated disease led to the introduction of interval dose treatments, this effectively controlled worms but led to an over-treatment of all stock and the widespread development of anthelmintic drug resistance, this approach is now inappropriate [1,2]. A targeted approach to worm control is now recommended [3] whereby a proportion of worms is left unexposed to anthelmintics so there is no selection pressure for resistance to occur, any resistant genes in the worm population are diluted in this susceptible population (refugia). This is the ‘gold standard’ on the stud farm together with pasture and stable management with the added benefit of being less expensive than interval dose regimes and good for the preservation of anthelmintic medications ...
