You collect a small dung sample, post it to the laboratory in the envelope provided, and the lab examines it and reports the number of worm eggs found. It is the evidence-based alternative to worming every horse on the yard to a calendar whether they need it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat distinction matters more every year. Resistance to the available wormers is a real and growing problem, and every unnecessary dose makes it worse. Counting first means the horses that need treating get treated and the ones that do not are left alone, which is better for the individual horse, better for the yard and better for keeping the drugs we have working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaboratory worm egg count for one horse, by post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTells you whether a horse actually needs worming rather than guessing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce unnecessary dosing and slow the spread of wormer resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResults come with guidance on what the count means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes what you need to collect and return the sample\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarried out by Westgate Laboratories, specialists in equine worm testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses, ponies and donkeys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners following a targeted worming programme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYards wanting to test before treating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone advised by their vet or SQP to obtain a worm egg count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitoring an individual horse through the grazing season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead the instructions supplied with the kit before collecting the sample\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollect a fresh dung sample, taking small amounts from several different droppings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel the sample with the horse's details as directed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost it to the laboratory in the envelope provided, ideally early in the week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait for the result and the accompanying guidance before deciding on treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscuss the result with your vet or SQP if you are unsure how to act on it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePostal worm egg count kit, single horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes sample collection materials, instructions and return envelope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaboratory analysis and written result included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer product code 1003809\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCare \u0026amp; Caution\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSend the sample promptly after collection, as a stale sample gives a less reliable count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA worm egg count does not detect every type of worm, so follow professional advice on additional testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not stop a worming programme on the strength of one result without advice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash your hands thoroughly after handling dung samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the unused kit in a cool, dry place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways consult your vet or a qualified SQP about treatment decisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Westgate Laboratories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53889655865667,"sku":"1003809","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/4452\/2563\/files\/westgate-labs-worm-count-kit-r3aw.jpg?v=1790056324","url":"https:\/\/animall.co.uk\/products\/westgate-lab-worm-count-kit-single-horse","provider":"Animall ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
