Fecal Egg Count Lab
Browse labs that run goat fecal egg counts — the foundation of targeted-selective deworming. Blanket-dewormed herds are running out of working dewormers, and the only way to push back is real numbers on a real schedule: routine McMaster counts, periodic FECRT (reduction tests), and Haemonchus-aware reporting that doesn't lump all strongyle eggs together.

How to Use Fecal Egg Counts
- Baseline before deworming. Pull samples before treatment to know what you're treating.
- FECRT 10 to 14 days post-treatment. Same animals, same lab. Less than 95% reduction is a red flag for resistance to that dewormer class.
- Pair with FAMACHA. Eyelid color score plus EPG is the small-ruminant standard. Both, not either.
- Selective treatment. Treat the animals carrying the load, not the whole herd. Refugia matters.
- Confirm with the lab's method. Sensitivity varies. Stay with one lab for trend continuity.
