EQUIMAX Horse Wormer Paste 35mL | Virbac - Shop Online

What Farmco Recommends It For:

We recommend EQUIMAX horse wormer for adult horses, especially in autumn and the cooler months when bots and small strongyles are most active. It treats all major intestinal worms, including all three species of tapeworm and all three species of bots. One tube treats horses up to 700kg, which makes it a simple, reliable choice for most Aussie horse owners.

Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:

EQUIMAX® is Australia’s most trusted broad-spectrum wormer, developed and made right here in Australia. Horse owners keep coming back to it because it works, it’s safe, and horses take the oatmeal-flavoured paste without much fuss. It’s a reliable choice that has stood the test of time.

Why Choose EQUIMAX Horse Wormer?

EQUIMAX horse wormer combines abamectin and praziquantel to control susceptible tapeworms, roundworms, bots, lungworms, intestinal threadworms and skin parasites. It targets the arterial larval stages of Strongylus vulgaris and benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles. It also treats summer sores caused by Habronema and Draschia spp. and cutaneous onchocerciasis (neck threadworm).

Safe for Your Whole Breeding Program

Internal and independent trials have proven EQUIMAX® safe and effective across all life stages. You can use it on pregnant mares at any stage of pregnancy and on breeding stallions without affecting fertility. Worm mares two weeks before their expected foaling date.

Dose Right, Protect Better

Most owners underestimate their horse’s weight by up to 20%. Underdosing leaves worms behind and can lead to resistance. The 700kg syringe treats 99% of Australian horses in a single tube, so you can dose with confidence.

Using EQUIMAX Horse Wormer in a Smart Worming Plan

Virbac’s Gold Standard program recommends worming adult horses with STRATEGY-T® in spring and EQUIMAX horse wormer in autumn. Pair your program with a faecal egg count (FEC) to cut down on unnecessary treatments and help your wormers keep working for longer. For horses under two years old, use EQUIMAX® ELEVATION or STRATEGY-T® instead. Read the EQUIMAX Safety Data Sheet before use.
