Below is a link to an informative article on the importance of performing fecal egg counts on your horse written by Dr. Craig Reinemeyer. Occasionally I refer to “Equine Parasite Control”, the book he wrote with Dr. Martin K. Nielson because Dr. Craig Reinemeyer is dedicated to improving horses’ health through parasite research. Dr. Reinemeyer is well repsected, considered an expert in the field of Parasitology and enjoys sharing his expertise, in addition he knows a great deal about the most current research.
