</a><br />Performing regular fecal egg count testing is an important step in equine parasite management.<br />
Collecting a manure sample is easy, but it must be done properly to ensure accurate test results.<br />
<br />
Be sure to request feces are examined for a strongyle egg count in horses aged 2 years and up.<br />
<br />
Here's how:<br />
1) Write the date and horse's name on a zip-lock bag.<br />
2) Take another zip-lock bag and turn it inside-out over your hand.<br />
3) With your hand inside the bag, pick up a fresh fecal mass.<br />
4) Use your other hand to pull the zip-lock bag over your hand, turning the bag right side out. Squeeze out as much air as possible. The feces are now in the bag.<br />
5) Zip up the bag. Place the bag into the labelled bag.<br />
6) Store in a cool place, such as a fridge.<br />
7) Deliver your fecal sample to the vet within 48 hours!<br />
<br />
WARNING!<br />
Do not place the sample in the freezer or leave it in your car.<br />
Extreme cold or heat can kill parasites, defeating the purpose of collecting a sample.
