Some of you might be embarking on taking faecal samples for worm egg counts soon, so we wanted to remind you of our top tips:
💩 Samples should be as fresh as possible – watch and wait (relax, take in the view!)
💩 Collect 40g per animal...

I am far too excited about centrifuging things. Experimenting with different FEC methods so that I can #MakeWormingCount
If you want something to listen to whilst you're making dinner or walking the dog this @AHDB_BeefLamb podcast on worm control in lambs is very informative!🐑
It reiterates the advice from our #MakeWormingCount campaign in an easy to listen to format - you're welcome!
Check out our latest #podcast about worm control with Nerys Wright, knowledge exchange manager, Chris Elkington, our 2019 Strategic Farmer & Hefin Rowlands, a farm animal SQP at Techion https://t.co/L3KrPudxMG
Thanks to @ami_vet for this demo on how to package a faecal sample when sending to @Biobest_Labs.
It's important to seal the sample and pack with some absorbent material to prevent leakage.
Don't forget to include your completed submission form!

How can faecal worm egg counts help?🐑🐑🐑
FWEC on fresh faeces can improve your knowledge of the #roundworm burden on farm and #MakeWormingCount by helping you to target specific worms with the right product at the right time.
What is a faecal worm egg count?💩
A FWEC counts the number of roundworm eggs in faeces (dung) and is measured as ‘eggs per gram’ (epg) of faeces. The number of eggs is an indication of the number of adult roundworms in the gut of the sheep.

🐑Depressed appetite➡️reduced feed intake & growth rate
🐑Gut damage➡️reduced nutrient absorption diarrhoea
🐑Impaired mineral retention➡️small skeleton & exacerbated trace element deficiencies
🐑Poor protein metabolism➡️reduced muscle growth & carcase quality

Look out for our forthcoming #MakeWormingCount resources. We have worked really hard on making faecal egg counting accessible for all of our #sheepfarmers but certainly goat and camelid keepers can benefit too!
I'm really proud of this project so please share and engage! 🐑🐐🦙
With resistance to anthelmintics increasing nationally, deciding what product to use and when to use it can be mind-boggling, but it needn’t be. Your vet can work with you to create a tailored worm control plan specific to your farm and really #MakeWormingCount!
Did you read the 'Getting to Grips with Worming' article in our latest newsletter? https://t.co/1g7irmMdeW
@MelBexon gives handy tips on treating correctly, strategic dosing vs targeted dosing approaches, how to collect FEC samples and quarantine strategy.
#MakeWormingCount
Sheep farmers!
🐑 Are you spending valuable time possibly needlessly worming?
🐑 How do you know if the wormer you’ve spent money on is working?
🐑 Could earlier intervention reduce growth checks?
Let us help with your parasite control and #MakeWormingCount!
