Strongid C2X product highlights:
-
Helps prevent parasite build-up on a daily basis which may lead to better nutrition, health, appearance and performance
-
Continuous dosing of pyrantel tartrate in the gastrointestinal tract, instead of a conventional program of deworming every 60 days that leaves horses open to reinfection
-
Intended as daily preventive treatment ideally complemented by twice-yearly purge deworming
-
Suppresses buildup of parasite burden during intervals between periodic deworming, while allowing low levels of infection that maintains natural host immunity
-
Reduces pasture buildup of parasite eggs, limiting exposure to parasite larvae
-
Particularly useful where stocking density is high, pasture rotation is impossible, or exposure is continuous
-
Safe for use in pregnant mares and foals
-
