Description
With the continual threat of the spread of anthelmintic resistance sustainable parasite control should be the approach being undertaken by horse managers. Uptake of diagnostic led approaches remains slow, however outside of the overuse of anthelmintic there is also the consideration of the environmental impact of anthelmintic to also consider.
Learning Objectives
- Define sustainable parasite control
- Identify mechanisms of anthelmintic resistance
- Apply horse management practices to sustainable parasite control
- Consider environmental implications of equine parasite control
- Identify a balance of sustainable and environmental horse focussed parasite control practices.
