What We Do

PROFESSIONAL EQUINE PARASITE TESTING & WORMING GUIDANCE

EquiScope Worming Solutions provides laboratory-based diagnostic testing to support responsible parasite control for horses.

We work with horse owners, trainers, and veterinary professionals across the UK to promote evidence-based worming practices that protect horse health and help preserve the effectiveness of available treatments.

Worm Egg Counts (FEC)

A Worm Egg Count (FEC) measures the number of parasite eggs present in a horse’s faecal sample. This helps determine whether worming treatment is necessary rather than relying on routine worming schedules.

Testing allows treatments to be used only when required, supporting responsible parasite control and reducing the risk of drug resistance.

Includes:

Laboratory analysis
Results emailed directly to you
Guidance on interpretation
Fast turnaround (typically 24-48 hours from sample receipt)

Important: Worm Egg Counts detect strongyle egg burdens but do not identify encysted larvae or tapeworm.

Tapeworm Saliva Testing

Tapeworm infections cannot be detected using standard worm egg counts. The Equisal Tapeworm Saliva Test measures antibodies associated with tapeworm exposure.

This simple saliva test helps determine whether treatment for tapeworm is recommended.

Includes

• Saliva test analysis
• Results emailed directly to you
• Guidance on treatment decisions

Testing is commonly recommended in spring and autumn, or as advised by your veterinary surgeon.

Targeted Worming Advice

EquiScope Worming Solutions supports targeted parasite control, where testing is used to guide treatment decisions rather than relying on routine worming.

Evidence-based worming helps:

• Reduce unnecessary wormer use
• Slow the development of drug resistance
• Support long-term horse health
• Improve parasite management across yards

Testing should always be considered alongside:

• Veterinary advice
• Yard management practices
• Seasonal parasite risks

Why Evidence-Based Worming Matters

Routine worming without testing can lead to unnecessary treatment and contribute to parasite resistance.

Testing first allows treatment decisions to be based on evidence rather than routine schedules.

Benefits of testing include:

• Protecting horse health
• Avoiding unnecessary medication
• Supporting sustainable parasite control
• Preserving the effectiveness of worming treatments

Evidence-based parasite management is now widely recommended by veterinary professionals and equine organisations.
