Intelligent Worming

[cariadssogreat]

Hi there, just wondering if I could have some feedback from those of you who use them? Maybe an idea of cost involved? Many Thanks

I pay about £8 if count is low then you dont need wormer.I use abbey diagnostics.
£6.50 whoops

i really rate them, i think it is about £80 a year per horse BUT this includes all faecal sample counts, and then all necessary wormers just arrive in the post. i signed up last year for the first time and was happy to stay with them again this year.

It's expensive going, Much cheaper to get your own worm counts done then pay for any wormers you need, rather than effectively pay for wormers you won't need so won't be sent.

Donklet, i think you need the worm count results to be analysed too.

Thanks all, I have requested a call back as per their website - as info on cost seemed limited - but not got it yet - £80 per horse per year sounds reasonable for peace of mind. Thanks all

furryears, it is total peace of mind, it's worth it for me not to have to think about wormers at all, they do it all for me!

I can't rate them highly enough. Absolutely brilliant! And with a number of horses to deal with, it takes the hassle out of worming (apart from trying to worm my youngster!) as I don't need to be constantly worrying when and what I should be worming with.

I've just signed up to my second year with them.

I use them. It seems a lot of money when you start out as there's a yearly admin/management charge but it helps me a lot as I never remember which wormer and when to use. I get emailed regularly to say your neds need x,y,z and use it on x,y,z, everything's posted out, all the hassle taken out of it for you, literally all you need to do is worm the horse.

Brilliant - thanks everyone - I signed up to them today for my 3.

Agree with this, and make use of the SQP's at your merchants, they will be trained and will give you good advice for FREE, (they shouldn't just try to sell you product) and do a health plan for you, I use abbey diagnostics for feaceal counts about £6.50 per count and the 10th one is free. Westgate labs also have an excellent service, also a LOT less expensive than IW.
