How it works

Laboratory Analysis
Your sample is analysed using the recognised McMaster method to determine your horse's worm egg count.
Receive Your Results
Your results will be emailed to you with a clear explanation of the findings, helping you make informed decisions about your horse's parasite management.
Taking a good sample could not be easier:
You will need:
- a fresh pile of poo
- two clean single use gloves, one labelled with your horses name and one to hold the sample
- your name, phone number and email address on a piece of paper
- an envelope or postal bag
Taking the sample:
- put on the rubber glove
- take small pinches from different nuggets of poo, in total a golf ball size amount
- turn glove inside out and seal with a knot
- place it into the glove labelled with horses name and seal with a knot to prevent leakage
- place your details and the sample(s) into the envelope/postal bag and drop it into one of the drop off locations or post via royal mail.
