[QUOTE="Paravec, post: 8184341, member: 169192"] Dear all It's so important to be aware that pesticides and anthelmintic over use can be environmentally damaging with chemicals finding their way into rivers and waterways and affecting insects and biodiversity Not only this, excessive use leads to resistance of gut nematodes (ruminants and horses) thus depriving us of valuable effective products in the long term Treatment based on worm eggs count findings (consult your vet and see SCOPS publications) is the way forward - but sending regular samples away for testing can be expensive Common worm eggs are simple to recognise, and there is no particular skill required to perform worm egg counting techniques - there are good tutorials and much information out there. [ATTACH]1042250[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1042251[/ATTACH] To start you off, I can offer McMaster worm egg counting slides at a very low costs - £15, see images, available on ebay. I can also e mail charts of worm eggs. Contact [email]Paravec@protonmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
