what types of parasites does the mustang (horse) get?

Answer 1

Parisites(worms) attack all horses!
These troublemakers are bots, tapeworms, and encysted cyathostomes (one of the most destructive immature forms of small strongyles). Flies and mosquitos are parisites too. Sprays and wipes help.,and premise traps and agents.
Depending on your environment and use of your horse,choose a system for deworming (daily in his feed) or (dosing:periodic oral paste products)
Worms are contagious, and can subtract as much as ten years from a horses full life expectancy. Try this link below for the "test" to see what worming schedule suits you best!

Answer 2

Your Mustang can not be a Kiger Mustang, they come from the Kiger Valley in Oregon and only from there so your mustang would have to be the BLM mustang which did originate from the Spanish Barb Horses. Your photos are not viewable. The Kiger Mustangs are almost all Duns, Buckskins, Palominos, and Smokey Blacks.

Answer 3

All horses are prone to worms. It's not just mustangs, although if you're referring to horses in the wild, they're more vulnerable than domesticated horses.

Taken from a Perdue website:
"Horses are susceptible to a variety of gastrointestinal parasites. The most common equine parasites are large and small strongyles, ascarids, bot fly larvae, and pinworms. With the exception of bot flies, horses become infected by ingesting infective eggs or larvae while grazing on contaminated fields or by licking contaminated objects. After migrating through the intestinal wall, the larvae invade various organs before returning to the small or large intestines where they reach maturity and produce eggs which pass out with the manure. Adult bot flies lay eggs on the horse’s hairs (forelegs, shoulder, muzzle and neck). These eggs resemble "rice grains" and they hatch either spontaneously or are triggered to hatch as the horse grooms. Larvae then travel to the mouth and migrate to the stomach where they attach to the stomach wall."

Answer 4

If horses are exposed to lice they can also carry them until they're treated. I don't know how likely it is for a wild or newly caught mustang though. But I'd expect them to be full of ticks especially in the mane and ears and under the jaw.

Answer 5

Everything the other posters hae told you plus
Neck thread worms
Blood worms
And sevarl other worms
Most are easily controled by a dose of ivermectin.
We give ivermectin at least three times per year.
We also dose with Pancur Power pack to kill the encysted type of things and also with something for tape worms twice per year.
Ask your vet to recommed a worming program for your hose. The types of meds you use vary from area to area. They can tell you what type to use and when and what to rotate it with so your horse gets the best care he can.

Answer 6

these girls have got you covered. They also can get fleas and ticks, but rarely fleas unless their conditions are very poor.
