Other Animals

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.
