organic wormers?

[lizzypeg]

iv just taken on a yard and grazing that is certified organic...
iv been told any fertilizer etc must be organic approved...

does anyone use organic wormers and if so what are they called and do they work?

i usually do equest/pramox combo twice yearly.

organic worming is new to me.

the earth at the top is organic.... the herbal / homeopathic tincture we use does not say but the makers

are very helpful and if you contact them I am sure they will tell you if the herbs are organic or not.

The only one I can think off is verm x but personally I wouldn't use it as there is no proff it works but you won't have many options

Ellen Collinson,s No Verms, this has been tested by vets and is effective, if you e-mail Ellen she will answer any questions you have about it!

Ask Westgate Labs for advice on egg counts, this will leave only one [or two] chemical wormings, I suppose you could keep horses in overnight, and dispose of poop off farm.

Many wormers are now systemic which means they stay in the cells of the horses body for many weeks. A true organic system wouldnt allow this so homoeopathy/herbal is probably the only option for you.
