The ever important examination of your horses faeces. 🧐💩
A fecal egg count (FEC) shows us the number of worm eggs in your horses faeces and is used to monitor the worm burden in your horse.
They are important in the detection of dewormer resistance, to monitor pasture contamination, and if/when a dewormer is required at the time of testing. Also in determining how much your horse sheds which gives us a guideline of how often they need to be dewormed.
We recommend doing a FEC every 3 months. 📆
Here is a short video of how to collect your horses poop for testing. 🐴
