Hi Jean,
I've read that there has never been a documented case of resistance to
Ivermectin. Plus I'm not sure how this would lead to such a situation.
I would think resistance would be built up by under medicating.
I guess running a boarding farm with horses coming and going makes me
worm more than I probably need to but with only a couple of foals at a
time the expense seems worth it to me. At our old place with just our
own horses we were a little more relaxed.

So, to deworm with Ivermectin every 6-8 weeks when on daily Strongid-C is
a waste of money.
And, Steve, Isn't it more likely to result in resistance of parasites to
Ivermectin? Also, do you recommend doing a check for worm eggs in poop
samples occassionally?
