I do know that. Doesn't make it the right way to deal with worms.

The following quote is taken from this link: http://www.veterinarypracticenews.c...-dept/parasite-resistance-on-the-upswing.aspx
“We need to use dewormers more carefully and base their use on the actual parasite burden in the horse and in the herd,” McKenzie says. “Parasite resistance is very real, especially in ascarids and in small strongyles.”
“It is vital that horse owners know which dewormers work on their farms,” says Hurtig. “Though not as accurate as we would like, fecal egg counts are the only tool we have to try and measure dewormer effectiveness.”
The same advice holds true for sheep and goats. Resistance is a real issue and all livestock owners should be aware and take steps to help deal with this issue in the best way we know how.
