Intestinal parasitis

Intestinal parasites: an invisible but real threat

All horses are exposed to intestinal parasites: small strongles, large strongles, ascaris, oxides, gastrophils or tenias. These organisms develop in the digestive system and can cause considerable damage: colic, weight loss, dull hair, decreased performance, anaemia, and in serious cases, severe intestinal damage. Young horses and older horses are particularly vulnerable.

Towards a reasoned approach to parasitic management

The modern pest control strategy favours a reasoned rather than systematic approach. Chemical vermifuges remain essential, but their repeated use promotes the emergence of parasitic resistance, a growing problem in livestock farms. It is in this context that natural solutions take on their full meaning, in addition to a suitable vermifugation programme.

How does natural pest control work?

Our complements combine plants that are traditionally known for their vermifuge and sanitizing properties: garlic, thyme, armoise, squash, tanaisie or diatom soil. These natural assets create conditions that are unfavourable to the installation and development of parasites, without replacing drug demifuges. They work in synergy to maintain healthy and inhospitable intestinal terrain for parasites.

When to use these supplements?

Natural pest control is integrated into a comprehensive prevention strategy. They can be administered as regular treatment between two chemical vermifugations, or continuously for horses with low parasitic load. They are particularly interesting in spring and fall, periods conducive to parasitic development, or when plotting on potentially contaminated plots.

Prevention: Your Best Ally

Beyond complementation, parasitic management involves rigorous hygiene measures: regular collection of crottins in the meadow and box, rotation of pastures, avoidance of overgrazing, reasoned manure management, and regular coproscopy to assess individual parasitic load. These good practices significantly reduce parasitic pressure and optimize treatment efficiency.

Safe and natural formulations

ESC Laboratory products are made from selected natural ingredients for their quality and effectiveness. Appetite and easy to administer, they are suitable for all horses and can be safely used over long periods of time. Our formulas respect the digestive balance and do not have waiting times for sports horses.
