Verm-X? Is it a wormer?

[MagicMelon]

I won a pack of Verm-X which arrived today and on reading the box I cant work out if it is actually a wormer or not? It looks as though its totally herbal therefore perhaps can't officially say its a wormed but does talk of worm counts etc.

It's a herbal wormer but can't legally be described as a wormer. I'm not sure how efficient it is, personally I prefer to worm count and use licensed wormers as part of a worm control programme.

"As well as herbs to control intestinal challenges there are herbs in Verm-X for blood cleansing and others for gut maintenance. The herbs included in Verm-X have been carefully blended together to work synergistically with each other. We are also always receiving reports from horse owners that their horses look extremely well following a course of Verm-X."

So, no, it is not a wormer

They used to describe it as a wormer, no longer allowed to.

A word of warning, it is not unknown for them to contact people directly who speak against the product.

be careful about what you say here.

My friend uses it in conjunction with worm counts she is very pleased with it

 

[ester]

nope! wouldn't go within a barge pole of mine .

It would be very easy to see if it works though, FEC, feed it, FEC a week or so after...

I'd suggest the friend probably has other things in place to minimise worm burden and/or a mid aged horse that wouldn't have much going on under normal circumstances anyway.
