Dung sampleing

fanadman1

Anybody ever get dung samples taken of lambs thinking on doing it just to see what the story is if the doases are working.
Anybody know where to get it done in the north west and what it costs thanks

I used the crowd in cappaquinn to get mine tested a while back. I can't remember how much it exactly cost but was cheap, could have been €15 or €20 quid or something like that.There are plenty of good threads on here about it. Rangler carries out does his own testing. Just collect a few fresh samples in a ziplock bag and post them off. Resistance seems to be widespread out there unfortunately

Inishowen co-op does them and supply the kit too. You'll need to do two 2 tests - before and after. The second test should be 7 or 14 days after dosing depending on the wormer used. I think I paid around 25e last year for the 2

Just an update on this got my samples done with inisheoin coop great thing it showed a resestance to the white drench but only a small one so might be able to nip it in the bud now by useing other doas's hopefully it works like that anyway
