    get them out into the sun. last year as a fecker for ringworm cos it was so cold and overcast all the time. not enough sunlight to kill it off.

    Your local animal medicine store will sell you imaverol which is the most effective way of clearing it. You dilute it and brush or spray it on and it will clear the ringworm in a week or 2.

    Burnt oil with sulphur powder mixed into it. Brushed on.

    Had a few bought in yearlings with ringworm and asked the vet when he was doing the herd test in May what to do.
    His advice was to do nothing and let the sun and heat take care of it.

    He was right it is pretty much cleared up now hair grown back almost fully on all those affected.
