What we do
With an increasing risk of resistance to wormers, Worm Egg Counts are perfect as part of your targeted worming programme! NADIS and Vets are encouraging the use of FEC to help lower the use of worming unnecessarily.
Exotics Faecal Egg Counts
Many owners choose to carry out a Faecal Egg Counts due to the stress that worming can cause for our exotic friends.
At Feclab our Worm Count for Tortoise, screens for the following:
- Hookworm
- Pinworm
- Roundworm
- Tapeworm
- Giardia
- Coccidiosis
- Cryptosporidium
Please Note
A Faecal egg count is a snap shot of a specific moment in time. The test detects eggs of mature parasites that live inside the body and pass their eggs to the outside by shedding them into the dogs stool’s. It is possible that at the time of testing the parasites are too young to produce eggs, if no eggs are being shed the infection cannot be detected. There is also a possibility the eggs are In such small numbers at the time of testing they would be undetectable Thus showing a negative result. The above is extremely rare but we would like to point out the possibilities.
Available test kits for Exotics

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] ... See MoreSee Less
