Worm egg counts/ targeted worming

[ahlam1399]

Has anyone here changed from traditional worming to egg count/sal test? How reliable do you find the tests and has anyone had any problems? I know they need to be wormed end of year anyway but I have a Shetland with EMS and for him the less chemicals ingested the better. Was also thinking of changing my horse over to this method but as he doesn?t have any issues (apart from hating being wormed) I wasn?t sure if it?s a case of ?if it ain?t broke don?t fix it? for him. They are on herd grazing (normally rotated between 2 fields but haven?t been able to since last summer due to having to use both fields to separate an aggressive horse away from the herd) I will also check with my vet but interested in first hand experiences of this method :) Thanks
