Horse Wormers Australia | Smarter Parasite Control for Real Riders
When your horse feels off dull coat, weight loss, or just not performing, worms are often the hidden culprit. As a rider, you want peace of mind that your horse is protected. That’s why Delzani offers Australia’s most trusted range of horse wormers, including Virbac Equimax, Strategy-T, Ultimum, Equimax Plus Tape, Zoetis Equest Gel Plus Tape, and iO Equigard.
These proven pastes and gels are designed for real riders: simple to dose, effective against key parasites, and safe for horses of all ages and breeds. Whether you’re keeping a paddock pony comfortable or managing performance horses through the season, the right wormer keeps your horse thriving inside and out.
We know every horse and property is different, which is why we also share expert guides on worming schedules, rotation, and resistance. With Delzani, you get more than a tube of paste; you get confidence, clear advice, and a healthier, happier horse.
Horse Wormers Australia – Clear Choices for Smarter Parasite Control
Worming is part of everyday horse management — not something riders want to overthink, but not something to ignore either. Internal parasites such as roundworms, strongyles, bots and tapeworms can quietly affect condition, gut health and performance if left unmanaged. A clear, consistent worming program helps keep horses comfortable, thriving, and ready to work.
At Delzani, we stock a carefully selected range of horse wormers trusted by Australian riders. Each product we carry has a defined role — from best-value routine options to premium, long-acting and resistance-aware wormers — so you can choose confidently and rotate actives responsibly.
Why Worming Still Matters
Parasites spread through grazing, shared paddocks and manure build-up. Without control, they can contribute to weight loss, dull coat, diarrhoea, poor topline and increased colic risk. Smart worming reduces parasite burden while avoiding unnecessary treatments that drive resistance.
- Support condition & comfort: manage worms before they affect performance.
- Rotate actives, not brands: essential for slowing resistance.
- Accurate dosing: weight-based syringes help prevent under-dosing.
- Vet-guided programs: faecal egg counts help target treatment (learn more here).
Safe Worming for Pregnant Mares & Breeding Horses
Worming doesn’t stop just because a mare is in foal. Maintaining parasite control during pregnancy is an important part of broodmare management, helping protect both mare condition and foal health.
Several wormers in the Delzani range are specifically tested and approved for use in pregnant mares, breeding stallions and foals when used as directed:
- Equimax® – Safe for use at all stages of pregnancy, in breeding stallions and foals
- Equimax® Elevation – Triple-active formulation, safe for pregnant mares, breeding stallions and foals from 6 weeks
- Ultimum® – Long-acting moxidectin-based wormer, safe in pregnant mares and foals from 4 weeks
As always, dose accurately to bodyweight and avoid stressing mares during administration. For high-risk pregnancies or complex parasite histories, consult your veterinarian.
Our Wormer Range – How Riders Use Them
- Routine & Best-Value Options: iO Blade Double Strength and Equimec Plus Tape are commonly used for regular control of roundworms and bots, with tapeworm coverage added seasonally where required.
- Broad-Spectrum All-Rounders: Virbac Equimax covers strongyles, roundworms, bots and tapeworms in a single dose — a trusted, simple option for many adult horses.
- Premium Resistance-Management: Equimax Elevation provides triple-active protection and is often selected for young horses or programs managing resistance risk.
- Long-Acting Protection: Equest Gel Plus Tape and Virbac Ultimum contain moxidectin and are used when extended protection is required, including encysted small redworms.
- Non-Mectin Rotation: Strategy-T plays an important role in resistance management. It does not treat bots and is typically paired with a mectin-based product at other times of year.
