Faecal Egg Count Testing

$10.00

Faecal Egg Count testing is available for horses, cattle, sheep and goats.

A Faecal Egg Count measures the worm eggs being passed in the submitted sample. It can help owners make more informed parasite-management decisions and reduce unnecessary routine drenching.

Pricing

  • 1–10 individual samples: $10 each

  • 11–20 individual samples: $8 each

Discounted samples must be submitted together from the same property.

Important Information

A Faecal Egg Count is only an indication based on the particular sample submitted. It does not provide a complete picture of the animal’s total parasite burden and does not reliably detect every parasite or life stage.

Results should be considered alongside the animal’s health, age, history and veterinary advice. Breton Animal Wellness does not diagnose illness or prescribe veterinary treatment.
