MY QUESTION IS CAN I USE A HORSE WORMER ON MY CATTLE? I BELIEVE THATT THEY GO AFTER THE SAME WORMS. I KNOW ALOT OF STUFF THAT IS FOR HORSES CAN BE USED ON CATTLE BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THANKS FOR ANY INFO.
 
Check product literature and with Vet. As you said, do not use bovine products on equines.

For example, Ivermectrin (by variety of trade names) is generally a multipurpose de-wormer (according to what I've read on product labels); however, dosage varies significantly across species. Judging from usual higher cost of equine products, I would think that bovine products for cattle would be cheaper and safer.

As a lot of prudent advice I've heard over the years on things, "if in doubt, don't do it."

:cboy:
 
I would use cattle wormers instead! They ARE cheaper, and the dosage for cattle is stronger than for horses. I suspect with a horse wormer you won't get the same degree of results.
