Aim:   

Performing regular fecal egg count testing is an important step in equine parasite management.  

Procedure:

1.     Use a clean new plastic glove for each sample. Protect gloves and containers from inadvertent fecal or dirt contamination when sampling in barn. Collect the fecal sample directly from the rectum with care to avoid rectal injury or perforation which leading to peritonitis.

2.     Store in a cool place, such as a fridge.

3.     Deliver your fecal sample to the vet within 48 hours!

Note:

 Do not place the sample in the freezer or leave it in your car. Extreme cold or heat can kill parasites.
