    DOSING

    When to Dose

    Horses experiencing an infestation of chorioptic mites tend to stamp and bite at their legs or rub their legs against things. This rubbing can result in in broken skin which, in severe cases, can cause scarring that affects movement of the pastern joints.  Some breeds of horse, such as Clydesdales, are more prone to Feather Mites than others. 

    How To Dose

    This product is only available in jerry cans for dosing via the water trough. This natural remedy takes 7-10 days to start having a repellent effect on Feather Mites.

    Jerry Can Dosing

    Water Trough – add 25mls – one capful or one pump - to the water trough every second day until symptoms ease, then reduce to dosing twice a week for maintenance. Dose volume is calculated for a 500-litre water trough and can provide coverage for multiple animals.

    1 litre = 80 days continuous cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily).

    Our robust jerry cans are made from food grade plastic.

    Relief!!

    My Clydie mare came to me with feather mites. After trying several remedies that only lasted a month or so I found feather mite plus. I started dosing in Jan 2025 and within days the biting and stamping her legs had ceased. I have continued dosing the trough weekly as per instructions but feel we are probably feather mite free now. It has been the cheapest and easiest solution, a little goes a loooooong way. Thankyou I love it, so does my mare.

    Feather mits, GRRRRRR!!

    My Clydie mare came to me with feather mites, we tried a few remedies that worked for a month or so then we found feather mite plus. I treated the trough in Jan 2025 according to instructions and am still dosing the trough weekly as a precaution. She stopped chewing and stamping her legs within days and we have had no recurrence. I am thrilled with the result.
