Horse and Donkey Worms and Worming is a new book by Dr. Ann Nyland - 122 pages of up to date info on worming.
"A clear easy-to-understand guide to horse and donkey worms and wormers. Although written in easy language for the layperson, the book is heavily referenced to scientific academic journals. Today, the problem worm is the small strongyle yet the vast majority of advice given today for worming horses is still aimed at the old regimens suited for eradicating the large strongyle. Rotation is no longer advocated by equine parasitologists.
The book cuts through the claims about worming products, both chemical and natural / herbal, and presents the scientific evidence.
When to worm, resistance, rotational wormings, harrowing, are all covered in this book."

I found this book interesting and easy to read and have already put the recommended worming regime into practice. The section on traditional herbal worming remedies was surprising as was the section on the various worming pastes themselves.
Criticisms...much of the information is duplicated in the worming section of Dr Nyland's previous book on natural horsekeeping and my copy of the book has no printing on the spine which makes finding it in the book case difficult!
All in all an informative read and a good little reference book.
