A WEC is used to identify infestation of common adult worm species including small (cyathastomins) and. large adult redworms (strongyles) and large roundworms (ascarids) in your horse. In most horses the. majority of the eggs we see will be from cyathastomin worms. WECs do not give an accurate assessment of encysted larvae, bots, pinworms or tapeworm.

Second-cutting hay typically provides an optimum level of nutrients for horses, but quality is very dependent on when and how the hay is harvested. An average miniature horse weighs 200 pounds and should receive at least 2 to 4 pounds of forage a day. Look for a fine, soft, leafy hay rather than a coarse, mature hay. Feed at least one-third to one-half of a flake of a good quality grass or alfalfa-grass mixed hay twice a day. Flakes of hay can vary greatly by thickness; a normal flake should be 1Â½ to 2 inches thick. When dividing the flake of hay, put it over the horseâs feed pan so that any chaff will fall into the feed pan.
