if you mean vets, most of them are clueless wrt latest research anyway and I can't believe some of the advice they dole out (giving wormers at half dose for example). I believe Westgate do not sell wormers and therefor have no vested interest, otherwise the sort of research that research institutes such as Moredun might be of interest to you
Thanks for the suggestion of Moredun. I'd for gotten about them.
Just done a "count" on a yearling filly this morning and cannot find a single worm egg! What we have found is a selection of live single celled beasties dashing around! These are definitely not worms so I don't think they are larvae from hatched eggs. We are doing more this afternoon -- not the full MacMaster's but just a smear to check. That is after rigorously harrowings of 25 acres following 12 Highland ponies. If there really are no worm eggs, it would seem harrowing is the way to go.
