Faecal worm egg counts

Faecal worm egg counts (WEC) are a simple and convenient way of monitoring the efficacy of your worming regime. If your pasture management and individual circumstances are such that worm risks are low, then a WEC can determine whether your horse actually needs to be wormed!

Freshly passed faeces are required and at least 5 grams must be collected (be generous!).
