Blended Flock sample worm count test kit 50 Head

Testing a flock of animals? Why not send us blended samples? A rough guide is 1 pot per every 10 animals as a minimum. Take random poo samples from ditterent animals to fill the pots, and the result will give you a rough guide to the worm status of the flock as a whole.

The worm egg count test done on your sheep dung sample will measure the number of worm eggs in the sample. This then gives us a good indication of how many active egg laying adult worms are in your sheep's gut, and let you know if it is necessary to worm your sheep. It is important to worm only when necessary, as using less drugs will slow down the inevitable resistance that develops from overuse of the worming products.

Each Kit Includes 

1 pairs of disposable gloves for collection process 

5 collection pots for faecal sample

1 Testing voucher must be completed and returned with sample . Please include tag numbers of tested animals if possible.

The test results you receive will determine whether you need to give a wormer or not. Some tests will indicate a level of parasitic burden present in the animal and it will be accepted that a small number is acceptable or even beneficial to stimulating the immune system. Other parasites are more dangerous and any indication of infection will warrant worming treatment. you can show your results to your veterinary practice or wormer supplier with an sqp and they can advise on the best wormer to use if your results show it is needed.
