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.
Poultry Faecal Egg Counts
As poultry owners, whether for a few chickens or a larger flock, we know the importance of keeping our birds in the best of health. Worm Egg Counts (FEC) are an excellent tool to support this whether you are a farmer, smallholder or vet. They play an important role in worming programmes. FEC are a very useful way of establishing risk of worm burdens in your flock.
FEC can allow you to carry out any treatment needed, targeting specific parasites where a burden has been identified. On top of this, when a re-test is carried out, following treatment, this allows us to use data to analyse how effective treatment has been and identify possible resilience.
Another benefit to carrying out a FEC is that they give us an insight in to the health of our animals in a non-invasive way.
FEC for poultry look at the following worm eggs within your sample.
- Gastrointestinal Worms (Chicken roundworm, Gizzard worm, Hookworm, Hair or thread worm, Caecal worm and tape worm)
- Syngamustrachea (Gape worm)
- Coccidia
Please Note
Please note tapeworm eggs may not show up on a FEC due to the way they are expelled however, if they are seen they will be added to your results.

**SCOPS** post 📣🪱📣🐑
Are you a sheep farmer that has experienced recent rainfall following the previous very dry and warm weather? If so, the Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep (SCOPS) group is urging you to be extra vigilant in monitoring parasite burdens and lamb performance in your flock.
Nerys Wright, Technical Adviser for SCOPS, warns that the combination of recent rainfall and earlier dry conditions could create a perfect storm for increased worm challenges on pasture.

We will be wearing our wellies today, in support of British Farmers and the farming community!
#backbritishfarming #backbritishfarmersTo all our farmers heading down to London today, and all our farmers having to stay behind to milk, to feed calves, to tend to their flocks and pigs - to do what they do every single day.
To those who own their farms, and to those that rent their farms. To those who have enjoyed a lifetime working their land and building a resilient business that the next generation are excited to take on. To those that are just starting out and battling to make ends meet. To those who have invested heavily in getting their farms future proofed. To those who probably should be slowing down a bit, but can't. To those who love their way of life, and those that are questioning their way of life. To those who are struggling to know what to do next. To those who are terrified of what might come next.
To those who work so hard to feed our nation, take care of our beautiful countryside and pass on your knowledge, work ethic and lifestyle to the next generation.
Know that we stand right behind you. The whole bloody country does.
