What is being tested

The analysis detects the most common parasites in horses:

• Strongyles (small and large bloodworms)

• Roundworms (especially in foals and young horses)

• Foal worm

• Tapeworms (limited detection via manure)

• Lungworm (in horses kept with donkeys)

• Liver fluke (if horses are kept on marshy pastures)

Recommended testing times

For optimal worm management, manure testing is recommended 4 times a year:

• Spring (March/April)

• Early summer (June)

• Late summer (August)

• Autumn (October/November)

A checkup is also important after deworming. Depending on the deworming medication used, the waiting period for a repeat test varies between one and three months.

Results and Advice

Individual samples

• < 200 EPG: No deworming required

• 200-500 EPG: Depending on risk profile

• 500 EPG: Deworming recommended

Composite samples (max. 10 horses per group)

• < 100 EPG: No deworming required

• 100-200 EPG: Situation dependent

• 200 EPG: Deworming recommended

The interpretation is always included and takes into account the type of horse, pasture management and age.

Tapeworm Remember the saliva test!

Because tapeworms aren't always detected through fecal testing, an alternative saliva test is available. This test detects antibodies against tapeworms and provides a more reliable picture than standard fecal testing. It's ideal for those who want to make informed deworming decisions, even in the fall.

Sustainable, well-thought-out and animal-oriented

With the Wormiscope test kit, you're contributing to a future where deworming isn't automatic, but a targeted and responsible choice. You'll save resources, protect your horse, and help limit resistance problems in the equestrian world.

Wormiscope

Wormiscope is een hulpmiddel dat speciaal ontwikkeld werd voor mestonderzoek bij paarden. Het systeem helpt ruiters en stalhouders om wormeieren in meststalen te detecteren, waardoor een gerichter en verantwoord ontwormingsbeleid mogelijk wordt.

Met Wormiscope kunnen meststalen eenvoudig worden onderzocht om te bepalen of en wanneer een paard ontwormd moet worden. Dit helpt om onnodig gebruik van ontwormingsmiddelen te vermijden en draagt bij aan een duurzame aanpak van wormcontrole.

Het systeem wordt vaak gebruikt in samenwerking met dierenartsen of gespecialiseerde laboratoria, maar kan ook ingezet worden door ervaren paardenhouders die hun wormmanagement nauwkeurig willen opvolgen.

Dankzij de combinatie van praktische analyse, preventief gezondheidsbeheer en focus op verantwoord ontwormen is Wormiscope een waardevol hulpmiddel voor moderne stal- en gezondheidsmanagement bij paarden.
