Fecal Examinations & Local Testing

A fecal examination (fecal egg count) is an important tool in evaluating your horse’s parasite load and helping guide an effective deworming strategy.

While we no longer process fecal samples directly, we strongly encourage horse owners to establish a relationship with a local veterinarian or equine professional who offers fecal egg count testing.

How To Find Local Fecal Testing

Most equine veterinarians, mixed-animal practices, and many livestock veterinarians offer fecal egg count services. If you're unsure where to start:

• Contact your regular local veterinarian
• Search for “equine fecal egg count near me”
• Ask local barns or boarding facilities for recommendations
• Contact your state veterinary medical association for referrals

Many veterinary clinics can provide quick turnaround times and will help interpret the results in the context of your horse’s age, management, and health history.

Why Fecal Testing Matters

Routine fecal testing helps:

• Identify horses with higher parasite burdens
• Reduce unnecessary chemical dewormer use
• Monitor effectiveness of your parasite management program
• Detect potential resistance patterns

Strategic parasite control — rather than routine calendar-based deworming — is considered best practice in modern equine care.

Supporting Your Parasite Management Program

In addition to working with your veterinarian for appropriate testing, many horse owners incorporate natural support strategies as part of their overall parasite management program.
