Horse Chats

Episode Summary

Worms are one of the most common infections grazing animals face yet worming is still often managed using outdated advice and guesswork.

In Episode 0964 of Horse Chats, Dr Jacqui Panozzo (PhD in Parasitology) breaks down what horse owners really need to know about parasites, resistance, and evidence-based worming.

🔍 Key highlights from this episode: • Why routine worming without testing can do more harm than good • The role of faecal egg counts (FECs) as the gold-standard for diagnosis • How over-use of chemical wormers leads to drug resistance • Simple, science-backed strategies to manage worms effectively • Why parasite treatment should always start with diagnosis first
