How Animec 18.7 mg/g Oral Paste for Horses Works Animec 18.7 mg/g oral paste for horses contains ivermectin. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic from the macrocyclic lactone group. It interferes with the nerve function of susceptible worms and bots.
This action causes paralysis and death of the parasites. By reducing worm burdens, Animec 18.7 mg/g oral paste for horses helps protect the intestines and can lower the risk of worm-related problems, such as poor condition and some types of colic linked to heavy infestations.
When Animec May Be Used Your vet or SQP may recommend Animec 18.7 mg/g oral paste for horses:
• As part of a planned year-round worming programme Used at set times to target particular worm species and stages.
• After faecal egg count testing Given when tests or risk assessment show that treatment is needed.
• For general roundworm and bot control Chosen when a broad-spectrum ivermectin paste fits best within your current worming plan.
The exact timing and frequency depend on your horse, grazing, yard management and worming history. Professional advice helps avoid unnecessary or poorly timed treatments.
How to Give Animec Oral Paste Animec 18.7 mg/g oral paste for horses is given by mouth using the supplied syringe.
Typically, you will:
Weigh your horse or use a weigh tape to estimate bodyweight
Set the plunger to the correct weight mark for that horse
Place the syringe over the back of the tongue
Depress the plunger fully and raise the head briefly to encourage swallowing
Make sure the full dose is given and swallowed. Do not split one dose between two animals. If you are unsure whether your horse received the entire dose, speak to your vet or SQP for advice before giving more.
Worming and Pasture Management Animec 18.7 mg/g oral paste for horses works best as part of a complete parasite control plan. Your vet or SQP may also suggest:
Regular faecal egg count testing for suitable horses
Targeted worming based on results and risk, rather than routine blanket dosing
Regular poo-picking of paddocks
Sensible stocking rates and field rotation where possible
Quarantine and testing plans for new horses arriving on the yard
These steps help protect your horse and reduce the build-up of resistant worms on your grazing.
