Description
Pyratape P is effective against small strongyles (although not larvae encysted in the gut wall); large stronglyes; ascarids (roundworm) & pinworms; at double the recommended dose, it is also effective against tapeworm.
Resistance can occur with over use of wormers, especially repeated use of the same class of anthelmintic. Faecal egg counts & EquiSal Tapeworm Saliva tests are an important part of an effective worming programme. We would always recommend managing worms in horses by using a combination of faecal worm egg counts, tapeworm saliva testing, pasture management and targeted worming.
