This pack contains everything you need to take and return 2 lungworm sample for equines or farm animals at the same time.
Sorry no cats, dogs or other carnivores!
In equines this test can be used on donkeys, mules or horses, but it is often better to test the donkeys who are the host of the parasite, as it can be harder to detect in horses (because while they may be infected the parasite may not reach adult egg laying stages).
Test whenever you suspect a lungworm infection (coughing, mucus, wheezing), or routinely in donkeys and first year grazing cattle.
Method used is Baermann technique + sedimentation following RVC guidelines to detect lungworm larvae.
Whats inside?
- 4 plastic Poopots to place the samples in (we need double quantity for this test)
- 2 sample bags to place poopots in
- 1 optional vinyl glove
