From roundworms and tapeworms to red bloodworms \u2013 infestations are a reality that every horse owner faces sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"426\" data-end=\"560\">Of course, your goal is to support your horse\u2019s <strong data-start=\"474\" data-end=\"496\">natural resistance<\/strong>, helping it keep infection pressure under control on its own.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"894\">There\u2019s no magical way to eliminate worms completely and that\u2019s not even necessary. Every horse carries worms; only when the population grows, often due to reduced immunity, is treatment needed. Worm prevention is a puzzle made up of many pieces: <strong data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"892\">good pasture management, regular manure testing, hygiene, and&#8230; nutrition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"896\" data-end=\"1035\">Because while nutrition alone can\u2019t keep worms away, it plays a <strong data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"976\">crucial role<\/strong> in supporting your horse\u2019s resilience and gut health.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1068\"><strong data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1068\">1.
