Disclaimer - This parasite risk calculator has not been validated and should be used as a guide only. It is not meant to replace veterinary advice. There is no one-size fits all program for any horse and recommendations will differ from one property to another based on management practices and patient history. The aim of a strategic deworming program should always be minimise usage of dewormers to the minimal possible level to prevent parasite-related disease and to slow the development of resistance.
