FECPAKG2's are a helpful testing kit to monitor animals parasite levels in faecal egg counts and exposure to facial eczema spores

Description

  • FECPAKG2 test can check any livestock faecal matter, such as ruminant animals like cattle and sheep. As well as horses, alpacas, and goats.
  • The kit includes everything required to collect the sample, instructions on how best to collect the sample, test options (parasites in faecal egg counts or exposure to facial eczema spores), plus prepaid courier pack to send the sample off to the lab and the price includes one lab test.
  • The results are emailed with an interpretation guide explaining the result.
  • The Farmlands Team is available to help assist in discussion on the next steps, drench options, and any extra information required.
  • With drench resistance becoming more common, it is important to test the animals before drenching to determine if the animals will require a drench or not, if the animals do need a drench, this allows an informed decision based on the test results. After 10 to 14 days from drenching running another test is best practice to see if the drench product used was effective. With the help of FECPAKG2’s, we can start selecting the right drench actives ingredients that will be effective on your property. This will result in saving time and money by not using more products than required, which will help decrease the risk of drench resistance happening sooner.
  • FECPAKG2's can also test for facial eczema spores, either as a pasture sample or faecal spore test. There is no need to buy a different type of kit to test for the pasture.
  • With regular monitoring for facial eczema spores, will assist in observing the rise in spore count when it hits a critical level. Then an informed decision can be made on when the best time is to start zinc treatment. It is important during the season to keep testing to monitor the spore counts, then a well-informed decision can be made on when to reduce and to stop zinc treatment at the end of the season.
