BEVA & CANTER advocate a targeted approach to parasite control based on faecal egg counts. 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 egg count service for vets, leaving you time to do what you do best. Find about the different parasitology tests we can offer, including faecal egg counts, large strongyle larval culturing, pinworm, lungworm and sand testing.
Worm egg count service
Large Strongyle Larval Culturing
A large strongyle larval culture is now recommended as an annual screening test for all horses at medium to high risk of parasite infection. The test cultures strongyle eggs from a faecal sample to identify the presence of any large redworm species.

Liver fluke test service
Use this test to guard against liver fluke disease (fasciolosis) caused by the trematode parasite, particularly useful for horses grazing on wet reedy ground with sheep or cattle.

Sand test service
For equines in these risk categories a faecal sample can be taken at intervals through the year and checked for sand to assess the levels in the gut, so helping to minimise the risk of sand colic.
