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.
