Fluke & Worm Faecal Sample Requirements

IN-HOUSE FAECAL SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS

  • select 5-10 random individuals and collect a small sample (about 1-2 teaspoons) from each – we can then either test individually or ‘pool’ the samples to help keep costs down
  • if testing for fluke then 3-4 teaspoonful’s should be provided from each animal
  • if easier, ‘mob samples’ can be collected by gathering a group in the corner of a field for a few minutes then picking up about 10 different samples into an airtight container when they move
  • samples must be fresh (<1hour from being passed) as old samples can give falsely low results
  • store in airtight containers (sample pots or sandwich bags) and keep cool
  • hand in to the practice for testing asap (<48hrs max)
  • results should be available within 24hrs, if samples are received Mon-Thurs (8.30-5pm)

About Us

Following discussions between Struthers & Scott Veterinary Practice, and Grahams Road Veterinary Clinic we have decided to operate our Farm and Equine services on a partnership basis under the banner of ‘Forth Valley Vets Ltd.’

We have been caring for the animals of Perthshire and Central Region for over 50 years, and while our practice has grown considerably in size, we still hold the same values now as we did in our early days.
