FEATURES & BENEFITS

Lasts longer than any other wormer available in NZ

Prevents significant reoccurrence of parasite eggs in the faeces of treated horses for up to 16 weeks

Low volume gel is rapidly absorbed and easily administered

Highly effective against significant parasite threats, including roundworms, tapeworms and bots

Treats and controls encysted small strongyles (cyathostomes), the major parasite of concern in adult horses

Treats and controls ascarids (Parascaris equorum) which remain the most important parasite infecting foals and weanlings

Shown to reduce faecal egg counts by 99.9% in a single dose, while a five-day, double-dose regimen of fenbendazole was only 42% effective

When used as directed, Equest Plus Tape is safe in foals over 4 weeks of age and in all breeding stock, including stallions and pregnant mares

Do not administer the full syringe to horses under 400kg

ADMINISTRATION

Administer orally (into the mouth) at a dose rate of 0.4mg/kg moxidectin and 2.5mg/kg praziquantel.

Supplied in a ready to use syringe, calibrated according to the body weight of the horse to be treated.

One syringe is sufficient to treat a horse weighing 575 kg. For a heavy horse (weight exceeding 575 kg) it will be necessary to apply more than one syringe. For instance a 725 kg horse would require 1 syringes to treat. To accurately determine the amount to administer with the second syringe, subtract 575 from the horses weight and set the plunger accordingly. For a 725 kg horse, set the plunger on the second syringe to 150 kg (725 kg 575 kg).
