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

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.

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.
