Worm egg counts give a reasonable approximation of worm burden in lambs, calves, goats and horses.

As such they are an important tool in determining whether worming treatments are required, whether they have worked and also which animals are naturally more resistant to worm infection.

On this workshop, you will be taught to do your own worm egg counts on-farm, using relatively simple equipment. This will allow you to target your worm control more effectively.
