The Importance of Equine Nutrition
A well-balanced diet is essential for your horse's health, performance, and overall well-being. Every horse has unique nutritional needs based on factors like age, workload, and health status. By analysing your horse's current diet and overall condition, a professional nutrition plan can address deficiencies, optimise energy levels, and support long-term health.
At Charbella Performance Horses, our expert equine nutritionist from Statera Equine provides personalised diet analyses to help your horse thrive. From adjusting feed ratios to selecting the best supplements, a tailored nutrition plan ensures your horse receives exactly what they need to perform at their best—whether they're resting, training, or competing.
Invest in your horse’s future with professional nutritional guidance that promotes peak condition and optimal performance.
Take the guess work out of worming
Onsite horse weighing and Faecal egg count.
A Faecal Egg Count (FEC) should form part of the worming program for every horse, pony and foal.
An FEC is a quantitative technique in which a measured quantity of faeces is mixed with a known volume of flotation solution. A sub-sample of that mixture is then examined microscopically to count the number of strongyle eggs present. The result is then reported as the number of eggs per gram (EPG).
In the past, the standard worming program has been to worm every horse every 6,8 or 12 weeks depending on your climate. This approach has resulted in horses being chemically wormed when they didn’t need it AND parasites that have become resistant to the active ingredients in the worming products.
It is now considered best practice to conduct a FEC before administering a wormer and to then only worm horse in the herd that have an EPG count of 200 or more.
Knowing how much your horse weighs is equally important. When your results come back you will know whether you need to worm, how much the dosage should be and what type of wormer.
Statera Equine will be available for Mobile horse weighing at most Charbella Performance horse clinics. To book a weigh day and Faecal egg count at your own property you will need a minimum of 5 horses booked. Email Lorelle to discuss your needs lorelle@stateraequine.com.au
