On duty 24-hours a day, seven days a week, you can count on Nu-Image® Guardian™ continuous de-wormer treatment with that show quality coat you need to keep your horse healthy and in top condition.

Parasite Identification and Risk Group
Virtually all horses are exposed to parasites and understanding the types of internal parasite allows you essential information to decide which strategy to protect your horse. Below is a Major Internal Parasites table showing what groups are most at risk to infection and disease:

Name Risk Group Exposure Cycle Large & Small Strongyles     (Blood Worms) All Horses Daily   Young Horses are particularly susceptible to large infestations   Ascarids     (Large roundworms) All Horses Daily   Mares should be treated before foaling   Pinworms All Horses Daily Bots All Horses Early Spring & Late Fall

Prevention Strategies

Internal parasites are a serious threat to a horse’s health. Severe infestations can cause diarrhea, impaction, anemia, weight loss, and colic. This threat requires careful health management for your horse. Two basic strategies are, Periodic (purge) or Continuous dewormers for internal parasite control. Periodic strategies involve the use of either Macrocylic Lactones (Ivermectin and Moxidectin) or Benzimidazoles (Fenbendazole, Oxybendazole, and Oxfendazole). Continual de-wormer protection focuses on the use of Pyrantel tartrate with the use of a boticide (Ivermectin) twice a year in early spring and late fall. The benefit of a continuous strategy is that your horse is always safe in a controlled de-wormer program. It also makes economic sense to use a lower cost anthelmintic when you are not specifically targeting bots. Your horse’s health and performance will be the final outcome when you successfully implement a good de-wormer program. Always consider your horse’s age, environment, use, and your veterinarian’s recommendation before selecting any de-wormer program.

Nu-Image® Guardian™ (Pyrantel tartrate) is to be administered on a continuous basis as a top dress on the horse’s daily ration. Feed at the rate of 1.2 mg Pyrantel tartrate per pound of body weight per day. To achieve this dose, administer 0.5 ounces of Nu-Image® Guardian™ per 250 lb of body weight (measuring scoop included with product). Please see chart below for dosage instructions. Nu-Image® Guardian™ should be administered for the entire period that the animal is at risk to internal parasites. Unprotected animals that have grazed may already have an established S. vulgaris larval infestation. Before administrating Nu Image® Guardian™ these animals should be treated with a therapeutic dose of a larvicidal product.

Foals may be fed Nu-Image® Guardian™ at such time when consistent intake of grain mix is occurring. This is generally between two and three months of age.

Nu-Image® Guardian™ may be used in mares at any stage of pregnancy or lactating. Stallion fertility is not affected by the use of Nu-Image® Guardian™.
