As part of our grant funding programme, we have recently funded a research project which focuses on anthelmintic (dewormer) resistance and the distribution of worms in horses across the UK.

This project aims to identify if any issues arise from using targeted worming (where the decision to worm is based on faecal egg count results) versus traditional interval deworming treatments, for the long-term benefit of horses. The project requires horse owners and those that manage horses to complete a questionnaire that will help us explore the use of dewormers in horses and their potential impact on the worms that are present. This questionnaire should take no longer than 15 minutes.

The results of this study will be published in due course. Thank you in advance!
