Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit a worm egg count sample?
Simply purchase a test kit from our online shop, collect a fresh faecal sample from your horse, and post it to our laboratory using the prepaid packaging included. Results are emailed to you within 48 hours.
How often should I test my horse?
We recommend testing every 8-12 weeks during the grazing season. Horses with consistently low egg counts (under 200 EPG) may only need testing twice a year.
What does EPG mean?
EPG stands for Eggs Per Gram. It measures the number of parasite eggs present in one gram of your horse's faeces. A count under 200 EPG is considered low, 200-500 is moderate, and over 500 is high.
Do I need to worm my horse if the count is low?
Not necessarily. A count under 200 EPG generally means your horse does not require immediate treatment. We will provide full recommendations with your results.
