[QUOTE="dianab, post: 182825, member: 1142"] Worm the mare with an ivermectin product the day the foal is born. There is always a population of worms protected within the stomach lining waiting to hatch out. Usually they hatch a few at a time, but in the case of a mare giving birth, the hormones cause large numbers to hatch out and start to migrate through the mare. Some of these end up in the mare's milk and transfer the first population of worms to the foal. Worming with ivermectin will kill any that have hatched and prevent them from infecting the foal. This seems to also prevent the foal scours you can see around day seven. [/QUOTE]
