Vet Services Worm Egg Counts

Worm egg count service

A targeted approach to parasite control based on faecal worm egg counts is advocated for all equine, ruminant and avian clients to help slow resistance to worming drugs. However in busy vet practice it can sometimes be difficult to offer this service to clients with reliable turnaround times. Let us take the strain! We offer a simple to use, reliable worm count service for the testing of horses, poultry, sheep, cattle and other grazing animals, leaving you time to do what you do best.

You (or your clients) post their samples to the lab in prepaid envelopes, samples are tested on the day they arrive in our purpose built laboratory. Results returned to you by e-mail the same day enabling you to  deliver a swift customer consultation and prescribe any necessary wormers. 

We will customise and supply bespoke paperwork with your logo and contact details for each classification of animal as well as an advice leaflet to accompany equine and poultry tests that you can pass on to your clients explaining how best to use worm egg counts in their parasite control programme.

Bespoke Veterinary Service

If you are a vet under pressure why not take advantage of our bespoke service? Here’s how it works:

  1. We supply you with sample containers, including prepaid envelopes for your client's convenience to return them to the lab. We supply all paperwork using your branded practice heading, plus information sheets for clients. These can be tailored to your own requirements.
  2. You (or your clients) post their samples to the lab in prepaid envelopes, samples are tested on the day they arrive in our purpose built laboratory. Results returned to you by e-mail the same day enabling you to deliver a swift customer consultation and prescribe any necessary wormers.

We have had very positive feedback from the veterinary practices already using this simple system. If you are interested in this service please contact: [email protected] or phone us on: 01670 791994.

Adhoc Service for Vets

Alternatively we can also offer a relief system as a backup for those busy times. Many of our vets manage the smaller numbers of samples in-house, preferring only to outsource bigger yards to our specialist laboratory. This is fine too and we can send you a supply of pots and envelopes to keep in stock for these occasions! Please inquire for our special rates.
