Welcome to Feclab Laboratories

Here at Feclab we pride ourselves on offering a friendly, personal and professional service where you and your pets are our priority!

Feclab Laboratories originated as we believed that animal faecal egg count records will be a requirement to justify the use of Anthelmintics and prevent the over use of products. We believe each wormer treatment should be justified for its known benefit to the Species being treated.

At Feclab, Our responsibility is to safeguard animal health and welfare as well as public health. We have fully qualified Amtra SQP’s able to advice on Anthelmintic products.

Regular worm count testing allows you to monitor the effectiveness of your worming programme and target any worm burdens directly. For those using conventional wormers, worm counts mean that you are only worming when necessary – due to a positive test, thus helping reduce the resistance to the ingredients in conventional wormers and limiting the chemicals entering your pets.

Natural worming programmes? Faecal worm counts are an essential part of a natural worming programme. Pesky parasites find their way into most dogs and cats lives therefore it is essential that we have a targeted worming programme to help protect them from infestation. So whether you chose to worm or not, worm count testing plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy pets.

Feclab work with a number of both conventional & Holistic veterinary practices across the UK.
We are always happy to liaise with your vet where needed.

Faecal Egg Counts (FECS)

Faecal Egg Count (FEC) is a method of determining how many internal parasite Eggs are present in a particular dung sample. It may also be possible to determine the different types of worms or other parasites present.

If eggs are found in a fecal sample it shows that worms are present in the animal.

Thanks for the reminder!!

Have you carried out a FEC and Equisal tapeworm test for your horse/s recently? If not then they are available on our website.THE WORM THAT TURNED: ANTHELMINTIC RESISTANCE IN TAPEWORM🪱

It's important to target worming only to horses that require treatment because anthelmintic resistance is now a real threat to effective control of tapeworm.

With FEC tests offering poor sensitivity for detecting tapeworm infection, the EquiSal test measures tapeworm-specific antibodies in saliva. This enables sensitive detection of infection to inform anti-tapeworm treatments.

Analysis of the 2015-2023 UK EquiSal dataset (below) demonstrates that, overall, only 1 in 3 horses is recommended for treatment, considerably reducing anthelmintic applications and, thus, protecting efficacy.

EquiSal Tapeworm kits are available via >500 veterinary and SQP stockists in the UK. Through postal collection points, the service is accessible for testing horses in the EU.

For further information go to equisal.co.uk/ or email: [email protected]

🐑Now is the time to start faecal egg counts (FECs) on February and March-born lambs, says SCOPS🐑

While roundworm activity so far this season has been relatively low, the Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep (SCOPS) Group says the recent temperature increase means this could change quickly on many farms, as warm, damp conditions encourage larvae to hatch from eggs and develop into infective larvae on pastures.
