Worm Counts For All Grazing Animals
Wildwood Worm Counts is an independent specialist testing service for faecal egg worm counts. Operated by a qualified medical laboratory scientist who is an AMTRA trained SQP, following BVA guidelines. Offering parasite control management for all grazing animals.
Research has shown that frequent deworming of horses for example, without regard for season or for an individual animal's needs, has put us on a destructive path with worms becoming increasingly resistant to deworming drugs.
Veterinary recommendations are to stop blanket chemical worming as there is no need and there are no quick or easy alternative solutions in sight, so we have to change the way we manage parasite loads. It is only by replacing the chemicals with faecal egg counting, that our animals will remain safe.
Faecal egg counting is a fantastic development in the professional parasitological tool kit. They can be used to assess whether the chemical intervals of a worming program are suppressing egg laying activity. They can be used to detect resistance to chemical wormers and they will also detect severe parasite infections.
