Why are horses today more prone to parasite problems when compared to horses in the wild?
Modern domesticated horses are more prone to parasites due to limited turnout areas, which mean that they come in closer contact with the parasites than do wild horses which can roam wide distances and stay clear of parasite infested manure. Also the use of Anthelimentics (deworming drugs) have increased parasite resistance to the drugs and then the horse cannot get rid of them through deworming.
Can sugar cubes give horses worms?
no. worms are parasites that come from the grass and larvae and eggs that horses ingest. they grow in the stomach and intestines and are passed in the feces and then are reingested as the horse eats more grass. sugar is bad for horses for the same reason it is bad for people.
What habit of horses do they do to prevent internal parasites?
Horses, if given adequate pasture space, practice selective grazing to help minimize reinfection with parasites. They will graze in certain areas (lawns) and defecate in other areas (roughs) so that they don't eat from areas where parasite eggs and larva are likely to be. When pastures are overstocked or too small or are mowed with feces on the ground, horses loose the ability to stay away from fecal material and contaminated grazing.
