Is there a reason it couldn't be done

Liquid wormers that come with instructions to use a drench gun and give so many mls.

Why could it not be poured into a small feed. It would result in a gut with feed and wormer in.

As a horse should always have feed in it's gut wouldn't it give the same result. Gut with feed and wormer in.

I wonder this too. Good question.

We used to buy the bulk packs of liquid wormer at work and syringe it over the tounge. When your doing 20+ horses, tube wormers get pricey..

I bought bottle of rehydra, and for the first few days, i put it over the tounge as instructed, but horse got the jack of that quick smart, it said i could also put it in her water and have her drink all of it, i added it to her wet meal in the afternoon, i dont see a difference........... is there?

I don't see any reason why it can't be administered with feed as long as the horse gets all its feed.

There is a liquid wormer...as well as "powdered" ivermectin and alfalfa-based pelleted ones....that are made to be put on/mixed into feeds. I often put the paste stuff right in the feed also. Works ok for most horses...but some won't eat it.
