Our Farm Animal Worm Count and Lungworm Test combines gastrointestinal parasite screening with a lungworm screen.
The worm count checks the faecal sample for common parasite eggs and coccidia. The lungworm test looks for larvae associated with lungworm infection in grazing livestock.
You will need a fresh sample for the worm count and samples collected over three consecutive days for the lungworm screen.
We recommend this test for: routine parasite monitoring, livestock with a previous parasite history, animals showing respiratory signs or situations where laboratory results may help guide treatment.
Our trained laboratory staff carry out both tests and provide clear results.
Depending on the species submitted, we report commonly detected gastrointestinal parasites including strongyle-type eggs, Nematodirus, Strongyloides, Trichuris and coccidia.
Results are reported as eggs per gram (EPG) or oocysts per gram (OPG) where appropriate, helping indicate the level of parasite shedding present.
The lungworm screen reports whether lungworm larvae are detected in the submitted sample.
Where specific identification of Haemonchus contortus is required, we also offer a dedicated Haemonchus contortus qPCR test for more targeted confirmation.
Wormcount testing is completed, reviewed and issued within 24 hours of arrival into the laboratory. The lungworm screen is an extended testing process and results are issued within 48 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.
This kit is prepared for one cat and includes the materials needed to collect and return the required faecal sample or samples to our laboratory.
For the lungworm component, the instructions explain how to collect faecal material over three consecutive days.
Select the appropriate parasite test for your animal(s), or use our quick guide to find the most suitable option.
Collect the sample using your test kit and return it to our laboratory using the free, 24-hour tracked delivery which is included in your kit.
The laboratory team analyses your sample and provides a detailed PDF report via email, with access to our clinical team for further guidance if needed.
