Durham A gri News More Control Needed to Reduce Parasites in IHorses Preparations designed to control intestinal parasites in horses are not being used effectively by operators of some horse establishments according to the findings of a recent field survey conducted by the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph. In a survey of fourteen horse establish- ments in South-Western Ont- ario, just àbout every horse that was sampled had large quantities of parasite eggs in the manure. Of the four types of establishments surveyed, commercial horse operations, pleasure riding establish- ments and Standard-bred and Thorough-bredoperations, the commercial and riding esta- blishments ranked as the problem groups. Most of these operations use anti- parasite preparations, but George Blyleven General Insurance Fire and Automobile Insurance Contact: JOYCE GROOT 623-3958 or 623-5300 obviously are not using them effectively. Horses serve as host for numerous types of intestinal parasites such as: round- worms, bloodworms, and tapeworms. While low num- bers of parasites are relative- ly harmless to horses, large' populations can cause serious ealth problems. The most injurious of which is the damage to the blood vessels resulting in blood clots and reduction in blood flow. Many operators may not realize that each anti-parasite prepara- tion bas a spectrum of activity against certain specific para- sites. In addition, most of these preparations are against ¯only _the adult forms of the parasites, thus a one shot treatment with a compound and properly used, may not be adequate to protect the ani- mal. A simple and relatively inexpensive way of insuring that horses are effectively kept free of intestinal para- sites is routine manure sam- ple analysis. For best results and proper parasite control, manure sam- ples should be submitted for analysis, five or six times a year, initially. If horse owners or riding establishment opera- tors feel there is a problem in their operation, first samples should be submitted in May and treatment administered as required based on the analysis that is received. Manure should also be exa- mined in July, in September and late November, after the first frost and at a time when many horse owners and riding establishments and operators are preparing for "Bots". Avoi transmission of para- sites from a recently.purchas- ed horse to other animals, the new horse should be isolated from others in the herd until its manure has been analyzed. For further information on common worm problems in horses, horse owners and riding establishment opera- tors can obtain the fact sheet, "Parasite Problems in Hor- ses", either through the Agri- cultural Office in Bowman- ville or by writing to the Info'mation Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture & Food, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Safe Use of Chemicals With the growing sea.n and planting season now upon us, farmers and home gardeners are looking at the possibility of using chemicals for insect and weed control during the up- coming season. It is important for the users of all chemicals to remember to use chemicals only for the recommended uses and to know exactly what these are and what the dosages recommended for any given situation are. People should always remember to read the label on the container and heed the instructions that are there. We also have information pamphlets at the Agricultural Office on the use of chemicals for weed and insect control, including the 1974 Guide to Chemical Weed Control for all field crop and vegetable crops that are grown in the area. It is important to remember that properly operated and maintained spray equipment will provide maximum safety and effectiveness for not only the operator but anyone living nearby and at the same time will provide you with maxi- mum performance in pesti- cide control programs. For further information on pesticide usage or on recom- mended dosages, please con- tact the Agricultural Office in Bowmanville and we will get information to you or answer your questions for you.
