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.
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.

You may have recently seen an update from SCOPS, highlighting the earlier than usual appearance of Nematodirus this year.
Please check the map for your area and where risk is heightened a proactive approach, where lambs are outside grazing should be taken to protect them. Timing is key!
While Nematodirus can be seen in a FEC, by this point it can often be too late.Has your spot changed colour yet?!🔴⚫️
Track the threat of nematodirus to YOUR flock with the ‘traffic lights’ on the SCOPS Nematodirus Forecast map🐑

🏆 Sponsorship Announcement 🏆
We are delighted to Introduce you to (from left to right) Dart, Brecon and Zennor who are owned and trained by Ian and Kerri Law at Wynfaest Working Cockers & Woofits Dog Agility.
Feclab will be sponsoring Zennor, Brecon and Dart for the coming year.
We are excited to watch, and be part of their (already) successful journey!
Here is a little bit about Zennor, Brecon and Dart as well as their handlers and proud owners, Ian and Kerri.
Ian is a Grade 7 Agility handler with Brecon. Brecon has trailed for Team GB and had a great deal of success at Championship level. Zennor is Ian’s youngster and she is looking extremely promising and has already moved up to Grade 4 in her first two months of competing.
Ian is a Kennel Club Agility Judge and a dog agility trainer (and also runs a dog walking business) based in the north Bristol area.
Kerri is a Grade 7 Agility handler with Dart. They have had some great results in Dart’s first year of competing and is looking super strong coming into his second full competition year - exciting times!
Kerri is also an agility instructor and Kennel Club Agility Judge.
🥇 A huge CONGRATULATIONS must go to Zennor, who recently won both of her rounds, in her event and took the overall Starters Cup at Olympia in December. Such a great way to end 2023!
We were also lucky to see Zennor's course and WOW is she accurate.... and fast!
Well done Ian and Zennor!
