[RC] loose manure--worms - sherman

It’s my understanding that the horses picking up the worms is nearly inevitable, and, that no worming procedure other than a purge EVER removes them. They will migrate out eventually, but in the meantime they are causing irritation and damage to the intestinal walls and when they migrate the waste product can cause problems also. There are some websites that show photos of them encysted on the intestinal walls, not a pretty picture!

1)  So, I *should* use wormer regularly then to prevent the first stage of these encysted worms?
