Camelid Worm Count Test

Further information

Our Alpaca and Llama Worm Count Test uses the Modified Stoll’s test to detect gastrointestinal parasite eggs and coccidia. This test is more sensitive compared to other test methods used in other labs. Our test reports gastrointestinal parasite eggs to 5 eggs per gram. The Alpaca and Llama Worm Count Test is undertaken by fully trained and specialist analysts using microscopy techniques, in our state of the art, purpose-built laboratory.

Our worm count test for alpacas and llamas is designed to provide you with precise and reliable results, ensuring the optimal health and well-being of your animals. With a high sensitivity of 5 eggs per gram (EPG), this test offers an unmatched level of accuracy in detecting and quantifying a wide range of parasites in your livestock.

The exceptional sensitivity of 5 EPG means that even low-level infestations, which might go undetected by less sensitive tests can be identified early. This early detection is crucial in preventing potential health issues in your animals and allows for targeted intervention when needed.

Our worm count test will report on a range of gastrointestinal nematodes, cestodes and protozoa and fluke. Our test includes Barber Pole Worm (Haemonchus contortus) and Emac, (Eimeria Macusaniensis).
