A faecal egg count (FEC) can provide an insight into the type of worms in your horse.
For optimal results, a FEC should take place 14 days after worming your horse. However, you may also like to perform a FEC prior to worming to evaluate the effectiveness of your ongoing worming program is.
If used correctly, a FEC can decrease your reliance on worming treatments and extend the life of wormers used today.
It’s best to speak to your vet to assist you in conducting a FEC on your property and developing specific worming strategies.
