Other Animal Test Results What does my result mean?

Your test results will list any worm eggs that were seen in the sample with an infection level if this is relevant. Below is a list of the common grazing animals we test and the type of parasites that might be reported in your results. This list is not exhaustive; please contact us for further information if you have an animal type not listed below.

Our SQP’s in the lab are J and A qualified which means they are legally qualified to prescribe wormers for Equines and Avians – for other species you will need to consult your vet or RSQP if you require further advice on what to worm with.
