What’s included

  • One pre-treatment quantitative fecal egg count

  • One post-treatment quantitative fecal egg count

  • Percent egg count reduction calculation and interpretation

Pricing (per animal)

Select the option that matches the fecal egg count method required:

  • $35 — Modified McMaster FEC
    (sheep, goats, horses, cattle)

  • $60 — High-Sensitivity FEC
    (camelids and other low egg-shedding species)
