Westgate offer a bespoke service to shops and merchants, particularly useful for those with an SQP in store.
This system enables retailers to become more involved with a client’s worming programme which could increase visits to your shop and bring about add-on sales. You sell the worm egg counts and test kits to your clients, they take the samples and send them to the lab and we return the results to you to disseminate back to the customer.
The tests
Regular worm egg counts should form the basis of any targeted parasite control programme.
Horses, ponies, mules and donkeys
- worm egg counts
- pinworm
- lungworm
- liver fluke tests
Advise your clients to test for redworm and roundworm every 3 months in Spring, Summer and Autumn, adding in a dose for the possibility of encysted redworm in the winter (December to February).
Domestic poultry including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and pigeons
- worm egg counts
Farm animals including sheep, cows, goats and other grazing animals
- worm egg counts
- lungworm tests
- liver fluke tests
Please note we are unfortunately unable to test pigs, camels or birds of prey.
The service
We provide you with all the paperwork you need, customised with your logo and information. You sell the sample pots and pre-paid envelopes to the clients. They fill in the sheet with animal names and send off dung samples to the lab. We e-mail the results to YOU and bill you each month for the tests and the number of pre-paid envelopes used.
No upfront costs
Although this means slightly more work for you there is greater involvement with the client and no need to pay up-front as we only bill you for tests carried out and pre-paid envelopes used.
Free Marketing Material
We provide you with an attractive A4 show card to advertise your service in shop along with customised brochures and digital material to share on your social media channels.
