Zero Egg Count Equine Parasite Test Kit
Zero Egg Count is an equine healthcare company offering diagnostic fecal egg count test kits and laboratory services that provide vital information about a horse’s worm burden and the effectiveness of an owner’s deworming program. The current American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Parasite Control Guidelines recommends using an egg counting technique with a limit for detection of less than 25 eggs per gram (EPG) for Fecal Egg Count Reduction Testing. Zero Egg Count’s testing method (the Modified Wisconsin Sugar Flotation Technique) has a detection limit of 1 EPG.
The inexpensive mail-in test kits include everything you need to collect and safely ship a horse’s fecal sample to their laboratory. The collection bag is designed to collect and preserve a horse’s fecal sample using the same bag, saving time and waste while protecting your hands from fecal matter. Its collapsible design also allows you to remove excess air from the bag to maintain the sample’s integrity during shipping. The coolant pack keeps a horse’s sample cool during shipping to prevent parasite eggs from hatching. The durable freezer pack’s gel ingredients are non-toxic and FDA compliant. The durable cool shield thermal bubble mailer protects its contents from extreme temperatures and rough handling during shipping, while self-seal adhesive strips ensure the sample stays locked inside during shipping.
Your testing results are shared via e-mail or US mail within 48 hours of the sample’s receipt. Each test result identifies the type and number of parasites detected and classifies each horse into a HIGH, MODERATE, or LOW shedder category. This information can help you make informed decisions about your horse’s deworming protocols.
