Storing Dewormers

by Tracy Williams
What better and more convenient place is there to store dewormers than the barn, mere feet away from those parasite-ridden creatures that need them? Unfortunately, unless you have temperature control in your tackroom, soaring summer temperatures may be compromising the effectiveness of your deworming program. Here's a look at the recommended storage temperatures of a few sample dewormers. Perhaps it is time to either rethink your storage strategy or opt in favor of a product that can withstand temperature extremes.
