Faecal Egg Count (New Zealand only)
Regular fecal egg counts (FEC) are a great way to monitor your birds for signs of parasite infection. Only when the test indicates worms are present will you then need to step in with a treatment. Checking your flock in this way will help to give you peace of mind that your birds aren’t carrying unwelcome parasites that will impact their health, while reducing the need for regular worming doses.

I got my results and a recommendation for treatment very quickly. Much appreciated!
I sent samples from my four flocks of hens and received the results and recommendations incredibly quickly. It was great to have peace of mind around effective worming for the flock needing it and contentment about knowing the other flocks needed no worming. All information was clear and easy to understand.
Hi there, I would love to review product but I haven't received it yet.
Very easy to do, clear instructions and quick results. Hardest part was collecting the sample!
The convenience of this test really helps with the process of keeping my flock happy and healthy. Such an affordable cost, super fast service, and peace of mind when the test came back 100% clear. High recommend!
