Our Farm Animal Faecal Egg Count (FEC) measures gastrointestinal parasite egg output in livestock. We report results as eggs per gram (EPG).
Our trained laboratory team examines each sample using microscopy. Regular testing can help guide parasite treatment decisions and reduce unnecessary use of wormers.
The test is suitable for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and other farm animals.
Clear laboratory results and free after-test advice are included.
The report gives an eggs-per-gram result for strongyle-type gastrointestinal nematodes and records other relevant parasite findings. Cestode eggs are identified if present, and coccidia are reported where relevant. Where Barber Pole worm needs specific confirmation, a separate Haemonchus contortus qPCR test can be used.
Wormcount testing is completed, reviewed and issued within 24 hours of arrival into the laboratory.
Please note: Laboratory testing is undertaken Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Weekends and bank holidays are not included in our stated turnaround times.
