DEWORMING of horses is an integral part of basic equine husbandry. Foals and weanlings are no different from older horses and establishing an effective deworming practice is vital in giving them the best start in life.

Fenbendazole (e.g. Panacur equine granules or Panacur 10% oral suspension) is recommended for treating foals routinely at three months of age in case of roundworm infection. Roundworms typically affect foals and weanlings, not adult horses.
