McMaster Technique – Gut Worms (50 EPG)

Quantitative method used to determine the number of parasite eggs present in animal faeces. It is measured in eggs per gram (EPG). There is a known correlation between egg count and the number of adult worms present in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract. This technique is useful for monitoring parasitic infections in livestock, evaluating the effectiveness of anthelmintic treatments, and managing herd health. Its measured in 50 eggs per gram (EPG).

It takes at least 3 weeks for the gutworm parasites to develop inside the animal and start laying eggs. This means the animal must be on grass for 3+ weeks before the worm eggs can be detected in the lab.
