Not all poo samples are created equal! 😉
For the most accurate results, here’s how to collect the perfect faecal worm egg count sample and get it ready for testing:

✅ Choose fresh droppings – collected within 12 hours.
✅ Take from several areas – collect small bits from a few places in the middle of fresh droppings from the same horse.
✅ Avoid contamination – e.g. bedding, soil, or grass.
✅ Use clean hands or glove (provided).
✅ Quantity matters – Fill the pot to the very top.

📦 Pop it into the pot provided, seal it well in the bag, add horses name to the bag, into the envelope with form completed and send/deliver promptly so it can be tested whislt fresh.

The perfect sample = accurate results = the best worming plan for your horse.
Test Before Treating and keep those wormers working!

Tips to develop a targeted worming plan for your horse

Some great advice from the BHS on testing before treating and a video on how to collect the perfect p**p sample.

Following a testing-led deworming programme benefits your horse and the environment by reducing unnecessary exposure to dewormer drugs and decreases the wider risk of dewormer resistance which is a major and growing threat.
