🔬🐛 Every horse needs a worm egg count every 8-12 weeks throughout the grazing season. Redworm and ascarid burdens can spike quickly in wet and warm weather, so regular testing is key to staying ahead of any parasite burdens.

🧪 A faecal worm egg count doesn't detect all parasites. A tapeworm saliva test should also be conducted every six months and be alert for bott eggs laid on the coat, summer sores caused by Habronema larvae carried by flies or any itching caused by pinworm.

🙌 Our friendly, expert team are on hand to advise customers if you're unsure. Whether you’re caring for a single pony or a yard of competition horses, we’ll help you navigate the grazing season with confidence.

📮🤚 Spring Bank Holiday ahead! Please now wait to send worm egg counts to the lab until next week. This will help prevent them from getting held up in the postal system over the long weekend. Remember to fill in the date the dung was collected on the back of the return envelope, before you pop it in the post box, so we know it's fresh enough to be tested.

💦 EquiSal saliva tapeworm tests can be sent as normal as they are safe for 3 weeks in their preservative solution.

The lab will be closed on Monday 25th May. For more info and advice 👉 bit.ly/Spring-Bank-Hols-2026
