Equisal Saliva Tapeworm Test

Stockists of the Equisal saliva tapeworm test. A test that should be done twice a year, usually in the spring and autumn.

Reduction Tests

A further worm egg count should be carried out 10-14 days after worming following a positive faecal egg count. This reduction test ensures that the parasitic burden of your horse has been reduced by at least 95% after worming, if it has not and the wormer was administered correctly, at a sufficient dose, then there is resistance.

Mobile Weighbridge

A calibrated mobile weighbridge, with a rubber mat topping, recording a live weight of your animals - accurate to within 1kg. Available for use alongside worm counts or as a stand alone service. Knowing the weight of your equines (or other animals) is invaluable for a number of reasons: ensures that de-wormers & other medicines are administered at a correct dose, to monitor weight loss or weight gain, to help ensure that legal limits are followed regarding payloads & even as a gauge for rider weight limits.
