The previous recommendations for herd health are general guidelines. Every farm and horse is a unique situation. We suggest a herd health consultation with a veterinarian to discuss deworming and vaccination schedules, nutrition and dental care. All horses need a physical and oral exam at least once a year. We also suggest yearly fecal exams for a parasitses and sand detection. All broodmares and foal need an IgG test and the mare needs to be dewormed at the time as well.
Additional vaccines such as strangles, rabies, and Potomac horse fever are available for use in certain conditions. Several combination vaccines (3-way & 4-way) are available. Please read the labels carefully to see the product you are using contains the appropriate vaccines.
