Warm winters, what are the consequences?
Due to warm winters and the absence of prolonged frost or cold, we see a higher infection pressure in winter. In recent years, more and more horses have been on the pasture 24/7. This also means that if the manure is not removed, the pastures will remain infectious for longer.
Introducing: neck worms
This parasite occasionally occurs in horses, where the adult worm lives in the neck tendon and can live up to 10 years. The adult worms are long and thin (between 6-30 cm) and live in the tendon of the neck. Horses become infected when they are bitten by infected mosquitoes (Culicoides also called midges).
Deal with doubt? Do you ever suffer from it?
