Book—There's a Worm in It

• Book—There's a Worm in It

With *Da ist der Wurm drin*, Nana Keck and Conny Röhm have successfully compiled a comprehensive overview of all topics related to modern selective deworming in horses. The authors explain everything worth knowing about this extensive field in a simple and understandable way: from A—for “beginning” or “Anoplocephala”—to Z—for “centrifuge” or “zebra.” Readers gain deep insights into the world of equine parasites, the historical development of deworming treatments, the active ingredients and side effects of deworming medications, as well as detailed instructions for getting started with modern selective deworming in horses. The authors address countless practical questions regarding the choice of deworming treatment and alternative deworming methods, and even explain what “larval cyatostomiasis” is all about. They explain why one shouldn’t simply reach for just any deworming treatment and what side effects unnecessary deworming can have on the horse’s immediate environment. All of this, of course, with a dash of dry humor.
