What this sheet is for

Keep worm egg counts as tests in their own right, including the ones that led to no treatment. A follow-up count beside each treatment shows whether it worked.

Who it is for

Sheep, goat, cattle and horse keepers who test dung samples with a vet, a lab or their own kit.

How to use it

  1. Write the lab or kit, the unit results come in and how samples are collected.
  2. Log each test: date sampled, group or animal, how many samples, and whether they were pooled.
  3. Copy the result exactly as reported, and write down the decision and who advised it.
  4. If you treat, record the product and its class from the label, then the follow-up count and the drop, worked out the way your vet or lab does it.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Each faecal egg count as a test in its own right: what was sampled, the result as reported, the decision taken and with whom, and the follow-up count that shows whether a treatment worked.

The decision is made with your vet. No threshold, sampling interval or treatment is printed. Counts are read with your vet or adviser, alongside the animals and the grazing, so write the result exactly as the lab or kit reports it and the decision you reached together. Work out the drop after a treatment the way your vet or lab does.

Questions

Why does the sheet not say what count means treat?

Because there is no single figure that holds for every species, age, season and farm, and a count is read with the animals and the grazing in front of you. The sheet records the decision you reached with your vet or adviser and who made it.

How is this different from the sheep worming record?

The worming record logs each dose given, with a column for the reason. This sheet logs the tests themselves, including the ones that led to no treatment, and pairs a treatment with its follow-up count, which is how resistance is spotted.
