Worming every 6 to 8 weeks is common, but it depends on factors like the horse’s environment, age and level of exposure. Rotating worming products helps prevent resistance. Conducting regular faecal egg counts can assist in determining if your horse needs worming, reducing unnecessary treatments. Good pasture management, such as regular manure removal and avoiding overstocking, can help minimise worms. It's best to consult your vet for a worming schedule tailored to your horse’s specific needs.

Bloat in cattle can be prevented by managing their grazing, especially when they are consuming legumes like clover or lucerne, which are common causes of bloat. Introducing new feed gradually and providing bloat-reducing supplements can also help. It's important to monitor cattle closely during times of high risk, such as when grazing on wet, lush pastures. Providing access to fibre sources like hay can reduce the risk of bloat, as fibre helps to promote healthy digestion.

Most adult cats should be fed twice daily, though this can vary depending on their age, weight and health. Kittens may need to be fed more frequently, while some cats do better with free feeding if they're good at regulating their own intake. The amount and type of food you give should align with the cat’s size, activity level and any medical conditions. Be sure to monitor your cat's weight to avoid overfeeding, as obesity can lead to health issues such as diabetes or joint problems.
