To be truely effective you have to mix pig oil and sulphur together to prevent mites. If you want a long answer, PM me and I'll send you my long reply that I can and send to people wanting information about using this.

Your vet obviously has not been around the old boys with heavy horses who probably know more about them than he ever will with regard to looking after the feather.

That said, the modern applications do work such as frontline, but pig oil and sulphur are cheap and very effective and keeping the little blighters away.
