USE OF EQUISAL TAPEWORM SALIVA TESTING FOR BEST PRACTICE WORM CONTROL
STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH!
12
Horsemart
DIARY OF EVENTS ADVERTORIAL my horses’ welfare very seriously and this professional scientific approach to diagnosing worm burdens is the way forward”. The yard has a much lower risk of resistant tapeworm, so when a horse is confirmed as having an infection, Tim can be confident that the wormer will be effective. Using the EquiSal Tapeworm saliva test, it is possible to repeat the test 2-3 months after worming to determine if treatment has been effective and whether an additional dose is required. This has been invaluable for Corrine’s horses as after many years of having low diagnoses, Ama’s saliva score increased, indicating she had become infected with tapeworm. Ama received praziquantel-based wormer and her saliva score reduced over a period of several weeks. However, before reducing to ‘low’, her saliva score increased significantly suggesting Dr Corrine Austin looks after her horses using ‘best practice’ methods that are core to basic horse care/health. After years of carrying out worm egg counts to determine whether her horses needed worming for redworm or roundworm, and conducting expensive blood testing for tapeworm, she set out to find a way to test for tapeworm that is easy to carry out and not costly. As an experienced scientist she set up the Austin Davis Biologics laboratory and researched diagnostic methods to test for tapeworm. Out of this research, Corrine and her team discovered that you could detect tapeworm infections by measuring anti-tapeworm antibodies in saliva. The method proved to be very accurate and reliable, diagnosing all pathogenic tapeworm infections (validation published in Veterinary Clinical Pathology journal1). The test is similar to a blood test but uses saliva instead which can easily be collected by horse owners and returned to the EquiSal laboratory in Northamptonshire for testing. Winter 2018
Corrine’s own horses are routinely tested and since developing the test in 2013, they have only been given praziquantel (anti-tapeworm wormer) when EquiSal saliva testing has shown they are infected with tapeworm. Worms are becoming increasingly resistant to wormers as a result of the drugs being overused, or used routinely without proof that they are required. The best way to prevent worm resistance is to reduce the number of wormers your
reinfection. An additional praziquantel dose was administered and the saliva score reduced to below the treatment cut-off and remained so (see graph overleaf). If follow up testing had not been conducted, Ama would have maintained the tapeworm infection until the next routine testing and the cycle would continue. Corrine is often asked about tapeworm control by horse owners, and a common theme after the first test is sur-

Stockdale, has been very successful in reducing the number of wormers used on his yard. Prior to using EquiSal Tapeworm testing, the horses were receiving the recommended twice a year treatment for tapeworm. During the last 4 years they have conducted EquiSal Tapeworm testing, only 8 horses have needed tapeworm treatment, meaning just 8 doses of praziquantel have been used on Tim’s yard instead of 160 doses if they had continued with
despite carrying out regular worming. treatment has not been effective at maintaining a healthy balance and horses end up with constant infection, broken briefly by the worming dose, only to become reinfected at a later date. In these cases it is important to know what you are dealing with and whether to target doses more often to break the tapeworm life cycle and therefore reduce the horse’s risk of reinfection. This strategy, together with good pasture management, can help to 13

Feed plenty of fibre. Hay, Haylage, Oat straw or other Hay replacers. Digesting fibre helps your horse stay warm from the inside out. Do I feed anything else? Native types, Good doers, those doing little or no work, will probably only need a grass replacer (hay/haylage) and a good Vitamin & Mineral supplement or Balancer. Older horses, growing youngstock, poor doers and those in hard work, will require additional

WORLD HORSE WELFARE
JUST IN CASE their horse is being euthanased but as it is an upsetting time they should consider if it might be better to have an experienced person they know and trust holding the horse instead. Either way we advise them to listen carefully to the vet or other professional’s instructions and walk away once it is over as removal of the body can be a distressing sight.
The end of a horse’s life is a situation which most owners would prefer not to think about, but one which can be made less painful if the appropriate plans have already been put in place. World Horse Welfare’s ‘Just in Case’ materials have been designed to help guide owners through the process and plan for the future. World Horse Welfare Head of UK Support, Sam Chubbock, explains: “Endof-life planning is an emotive subject for any horse owner and as such is rarely discussed. We wanted to sensitively provide information which covers all the different areas for consideration, from actually making the decision to the different options available for euthanasia and disposal. “The pack also includes an ‘Owner’s Plan’, a form which we encourage horse owners to complete setting out their preferred choices with all the relevant information and contact details they might need when the time comes. We also advise owners to give a copy of this form to their yard manager or to anyone caring for their horse in their absence so that their wishes are known in case of an emergency. “The first consideration is the way in which the horse is put to sleep. The majority of people will not have 26
“The final consideration is how the horse’s body will be disposed of and the practicalities, plus financial aspects of each option. By considering all the options in advance, owners can make financial provision to allow them to select the choice they prefer when the time comes.
experienced a horse being put to sleep so will not understand what is involved with each of the two methods - injection or gun - and whilst the circumstances at the time may dictate the decision, we stress the importance of knowing the facts about both. Not only does this mean the owner can be prepared for what to expect, but it also helps them decide which is best for their horse.
“Whilst we have set out all the different options and considerations in as much detail as possible, we also direct horse owners to World Horse Welfare’s advice line – 01953 497238. Whilst it will always be a difficult and emotive subject, by encouraging owners to plan ahead and think about the options available, it can help to make the situation a little easier when the time does come.”

RACHEL DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURES NIBBLEZE NETS IN THE UK AS WELL AS OFFERING LIVERY FOR BAREFOOT HORSE She created the nets after wanting to feed her horses from the ground in a contained way to save on wastage and prolonging eating. She also wanted to create something that could be used in a traditional way when desired, like in the trailer or for shod horses. Looking to avoid hard nylon knotted mesh, Rachel chose a suitable knotless mesh, she trialled the mesh on her liveries & a couple of yards in the area before reaching the current patented design. This patented design allows a quality product to incorporate key safety features.
A NIBBLEZE NET CAN BE USED SAFELY FROM THE GROUND UPWARDS! If you are looking to use a small holed haynet to prolong eating time and use it safely on the floor for your unshod/unbooted horses and ponies or to use hung up in a regular way with a knotless mesh then look no further.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FORAGE IN THE EQUINE DIET Grass, hay and haylage, known as forage, make up the largest portion of fibre in a horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet. Horses are known as trickle feeders; their digestive system is designed to be almost continuously taking in small amounts of food.
negative effect on a horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respiratory health. Respiratory disorders and airway inflammation can cause poor performance.
Horses naturally graze for up to 18 hours a day. Whilst this is not always possible for stabled horses, it is important that they have access to an adequate supply of forage to keep the digestive and metabolic systems healthy. They need to eat a minimum of 1.5% of their bodyweight in forage every day to maintain a healthy condition.
High temperature steaming can kill up to 99% of mould and bacteria and reduce respirable dust by 98%. Unlike the traditional method of soaking hay, where nutrients are lost, steamed hay retains its mineral and protein content and is also highly palatable for horses.
Why do horses need to eat forage?
For more information, please visit https://haygain.co.uk.
When eating forage horses chew a lot more than when eating concentrate feeds. Whilst chewing they produce saliva which contains a natural stomach acid buffer, bicarbonate, which helps to neutralise the acids in the stomach. Too much acid in the stomach predisposes horses to gastric ulcers as the acid destroys the stomach lining. Competition horses are generally at a much higher risk of developing ulcers than companions and hacks, so it is therefore very important that owners do all they can to reduce the risk of their horse developing this issue. As forage is digested it is passed through the short intestine to the long intestine where fermentation breaks down the fibre. This produces fatty acids that the horse can utilise for energy. A by-product of this process is heat, so it is especially important to ensure horses have enough forage during cold weather to keep warm.
Why does steaming hay help?
Forage can be negatively affected by the weather and storage conditions. At lower moisture levels forage is exposed to plant respiration and microorganisms whilst at higher moisture levels mould is more likely to grow. Even good quality forage contains high levels of respirable particles that can cause airway inflammation. As well as making a horse more susceptible to colic, forage that has been contaminated with bacteria and mould can have a 18 Winter 2018
