Pooled testing

Assess the infection level of a group of co-grazing cattle whilst only paying for one faecal egg count

• Reduces cost of monitoring
• Accurate estimation of the group mean egg count
• Useful for regular wormer efficacy checks

How to

You – collect fresh faecal samples from 10-15 animals in individual bags (each sample should include faeces from 3 different areas of the faecal pat – click here for tips)

Your faecal egg count provider will mix the same amount from each sample

One sample is then processed from the pooled faeces
