What Lies Within – FEC & WEC ? 38

So, what are the benefits of Faecal Egg Count Testing?

This is my favourite topic. I could talk about this for hours because the benefits are huge. Precise worm egg count tests, performed with the latest biotechnology and image analysis can be used to detect horse wormer resistance and emerging resistance on your property, tell you if your wormer killed the egg laying worms in your horse, tell you how often to worm your horse, they can inform your treatment choices, protect youngsters, protect biodiversity of your pastures, and evaluate the effectiveness of your non-chemical methods like pasture rotation and manure removal to ensure horses don`t pick up many worms in the first place … and they’re just the benefits I can think of off the top of my head.

Resistance testing is now the most important reason for doing faecal egg counts. Checking that your wormer worked is vital. Our vet-approved Kit, precision high-performance FEC tests and all the support tools that go along with it, make it easy to incorporate vital testing into your horse routine management and care. It is a welfare issue that we cannot afford to overlook.

We are making lasting change. Customers tell us the best things about using high-performing FECs to guide their worm control decisions is no more guesswork, no more wasted time and effort, no more misguided control and no more wasting money on wormers that won’t work. And if horses could talk, I reckon they’d say the best thing about regular precision FEC testing is Team WormGuide, but of course I’m biased! WormGuide’s bio-secure sample collection Kit is part of a complete vet-approved system that not only delivers amazingly accurate, easy to understand images (that identify and count multiple worm egg types) straight to their clients’ inboxes, the Kit has multiple uses, comes with worm related vet consults, ongoing customer support and an exclusive eBook that helps horse owners make positive, age-appropriate changes to their worm control.
