Zero Egg Count

Our Laboratory

Zero Egg Count’s testing laboratory has been serving horse owners and the veterinary community throughout the United States since 1984. Our lab is staffed with professional laboratory technicians using the most accurate and sensitive testing methods recommended by the American Association of Equine Participations (AAEP) for parasite testing.

Several factors can influence a f***l egg count test result, including: Age - foals and young horses are more susceptible to certain parasites
Location - certain parasites are more common in some geographical areas or climates
Season - some parasites are only active during particular seasons
Travel – potentially exposes your horse to other parasite-infected horses
Pasture Load- horses continually grazing in a given area may increase parasite exposure
Pasture Mates - other animals can carry parasites that may infect your horse
Stress - may compromise a horse’s immune system
Health - horses with infections or certain metabolic diseases may be more susceptible to parasites
Treatment - the residual effects of any recent deworming treatments.
