Testing before turning out on to summer grazing identifies horses with high worm burdens that will release eggs on to grass pastures. 🌱🪱☀️

By implementing worm count testing, you can avoid unnecessary treatments, protect your horse's health and well-being, and help maintain the effectiveness of wormers for the future. 🔬

FAECAL EGG COUNT - Faecal egg counting is used to help identify the egg laying stages of redworm and Roundworm. 🐴
It is advised to FEC routinely every 8-12 weeks.🔬
Your horse is due if it was last tested in March.

​Young, old and high shedding horses require more frequent testing.🥼

EQUISAL TAPEWORM SALIVA TEST- The EquiSal Tapeworm test measures the relevant antibodies in the horse’s saliva. It is advised to test for tapeworm every 6 months. 💧
If your horse has a borderline or Moderate/High result, treatment is required. The warm wet weather creates favourable conditions for tapeworm parasites to thrive, making it an ideal time of year to test. 🪱

Redworms are the most common parasites in horses and can reproduce in large numbers. They are arguably the most dangerous parasitic threat to horses due to their unique lifecycle.🪱♻️

Redworms are typically white or red when filled with blood, measuring up to 2.5 cm in length.🪱🩸

Long-term infestation can damage the intestinal wall, impairing the horse’s ability to absorb nutrients. This can lead to a range of clinical signs, including weight loss, poor condition, a dull coat, diarrhoea, and colic. Additionally, horses may exhibit signs of lethargy, decreased appetite, and in severe cases, signs of anaemia due to blood loss. Chronic infestations can also lead to inflammation of the intestines and, in extreme cases, intestinal blockage. ⚠️

Seasonal faecal egg count testing is essential for identifying the egg-laying stages of redworms. 💩🔬

The larval stage of immature redworms can encyst in the gut wall. At this stage, they do not lay eggs, meaning a standard worm egg count cannot detect them. As temperatures rise in spring, there may be a mass emergence of these larvae; therefore, it is recommended that horses receive proactive treatment in winter. Consult with a registered animal medicine advisor (RAMA) for advice on the most appropriate treatment for your horse. 🥼

The ELISA blood test, developed by Austin Davis Biologics, can detect the encysted stage of redworms and is available for low-risk horses. 🩸
