If the horses have been wormed yes it will kill garden worms, I feed my worm farm solely on dog doo and know I have to wait two weeks after the initial worming of the dog before I can add it to the worm farm again. I would wait at least this length of time before putting it in a compost. Just leave in the sack or bucket for a couple of weeks before adding it to anything.

If worms have moved into your compost heap, it's no longer hot enough to kill weeds but should be fine to use in your garden. If the horse &/sheep manure is fresh, use it to start a new pile.

Thanks Megan - but won't the manure kill the worms in the compost heap?

hello Jacqui, ideally, the manure should be composted before spreading on your garden (ie not fresh) or else you'll introduce lots of weeds. After it's been standing a while, you'll notice worms finding their own way into the pile & by that time it'll be safe to spread around your garden. Probably not the definitive answer that you wanted :)

I have bought horse manure and wondered, if the horses had been wormed, how this would affect my garden worms. Figure that you vermiculturists might know... Also, what about sheep manure if the sheep had been wormed?
