LABOKLIN Service ID: 149

Material

faeces

Parameter

woms and protoza

Method

Microscopical after enrichment by flotation and SAFC method (sodium acetate-acetid acid-formalin concentration)

Duration

1 -2 days

Remark

  • As parasite eggs or protozoa are only shed intermittently, the test needs to be repeated if there is any suspicion (it is best to send in 3 consecutive samples).
  • Horse: From the eggs, differentiation of large and small strongyles is not possible; a larval culture would be required here.
