Sheep Health Testing
Make faster, evidence-based sheep health decisions with FECPAK. Monitor parasites and disease risks using a FECPAK Unit on-farm or FECPAK Animal Health Multi Test Kits from Farmlands.
Regular sheep health testing improves farm returns, reduces unnecessary treatment, has been proven to increase live weight, improves animal health, can save money on feed and slows the march of drench resistance.
FECPAK Sheep Tests range is; FEC, Worm ID, Facial Eczema, Lungworm and Fluke.
FECPAK FEC
Know when to drench. Maximise animal health.
Regular FEC Testing saves time, reduces unnecessary treatment, maximises weight gain, increases profitability, slows drench resistance and supports effective parasite management by providing information on when to drench.
FECPAK Worm ID
Know which worms are present.
No more waiting for larval cultures. Get results fast. Identify whether treatment is needed for:
- Haemonchus
- Trichostrongylus
- Ostertagia/Teladorsagia
- Cooperia
- Oesophagostomum/Chabertia
Faster than traditional larval cultures, get genus identification in hours, not days.
FECPAK Facial Eczema
Monitor spore levels before production losses occur.
Test faecal or pasture samples to understand Facial Eczema risk and make informed management decisions. FECPAK gives you access to timely, farm-specific information to support grazing, zinc supplementation and stock management decisions. Save the usual 10 – 14 days waiting for a larval culture.
FECPAK Fluke
The non-invasive FECPAK Fluke Test differentiates between Liver and Rumen Fluke Eggs, providing results quickly.
FECPAK Lungworm
Investigate coughing and poor performance.
Detect Lungworm larvae and support timely treatment decisions before productivity is impacted.
Available via: FECPAK Animal Health Multi Test Kits.
FECPAK FECRT
Check drench performance.
FECPAK FECRT (Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test) tests the efficacy of the range of drench actives and provides an overview of the effectiveness of using these products on the farm property to manage parasites.
FECPAK FECRT makes it easy and cost-effective by getting you to take the faecal samples and return to your Farmlands store or courier them to our lab. The kit has everything you need to simply take the faecal samples and we’ll do the rest.
