Are My Animals Infected by Worms?

A guide to diagnosing and preventing worm infections in livestock, focusing on proper faecal sample collection protocols for accurate parasitological analysis. Covers sampling techniques for sheep, goats, and cattle, including glove use, sample weight (5–10g), individual container use, and contamination avoidance. Details storage and transport conditions—immediate delivery below 10°C, or refrigeration at 4–8°C for up to five days, or vacuum-packing for up to three weeks. Emphasizes the importance of accompanying farm data (grazing, treatments) for accurate diagnosis. Based on Kaplan (2023) protocols, this method enables low-cost, reliable diagnosis and informed treatment decisions. Funded by the European Union.
