EASYMEC

Broad-Spectrum Horse Wormer

Abbey EASYMEC is a broad-spectrum horse wormer for the treatment and control of susceptible roundworms, bots and specified parasite-associated skin lesions in horses.

It controls important internal parasites including roundworms, bots and susceptible parasites associated with summer sores and cutaneous onchocerciasis, as well as specified benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles, making it a useful option within an appropriate parasite-management program.

Parasite Coverage

• Roundworms: susceptible equine roundworms, including important large and small strongyle species
• Large strongyles: susceptible stages including the arterial larval stages of Strongylus vulgaris
• Small strongyles: susceptible small strongyles, including specified benzimidazole-resistant strains
• Bots: susceptible bot stages
• Summer sores: susceptible Habronema and Draschia spp. associated with parasitic skin lesions
• Cutaneous onchocerciasis: Onchocerca spp. microfilariae

Responsible Parasite Control

A strategic worming program should consider more than simply treating horses at fixed intervals. Where appropriate, parasite management can include:

• Faecal egg counts
• Accurate dosing according to bodyweight
• Pasture and manure management
• Consideration of the horse's age and health
• Previous worming history
• Local parasite risks
• Anthelmintic resistance patterns

Faecal egg counts are useful for monitoring many gastrointestinal parasites, although they do not provide reliable information about every parasite or life stage, including bots and some migrating or encysted stages.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum parasite control for horses
• Treats and controls susceptible roundworms
• Controls arterial larval stages of Strongylus vulgaris
• Controls specified benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles
• Controls susceptible bots
• Controls specified parasites associated with summer sores
• Controls Onchocerca spp. microfilariae associated with cutaneous onchocerciasis
• Suitable for a strategic worming program

Directions

Use strictly according to the current registered product label, including the recommended dose, administration instructions, contraindications, safety directions and withholding periods. Accurate bodyweight estimation is important, as underdosing may reduce treatment effectiveness and contribute to anthelmintic resistance.

Complete Parasite Control

With broad-spectrum coverage including resistant small strongyles and bots, EASYMEC is a practical choice within a strategic worming program.

Persistent skin lesions should not automatically be assumed to be summer sores or cutaneous onchocerciasis; similar lesions can have other causes and should be assessed by a veterinarian, particularly if enlarging, infected, painful or slow to heal. For suspected heavy parasite burdens, recurrent colic, unexplained weight loss, diarrhoea or persistent poor condition, seek veterinary advice. Read and follow the label, observe withholding periods and keep out of reach of children and animals.
