    But Faecal Testing is done here through the Vets so don't need to purchase test kits.

    I'm sure once you have test results it will satisfy this scheme.

    I just had a read of the T&C's and it says that the samples have to sent to suitable laboratory/testing facility of the participants choice for analysis. Do your Vets do the testing or do they send the samples on? I presume if your Vets do the testing they are classed as suitable to do so but I don't know. I would phone them before you make a final decision just in case they are not covered in the scheme.

    See link below:

    "9.3.1 Option (a) - Faecal Testing:
    Carry out two (2) faecal tests for specified parasites and submit for testing to a suitable
    laboratory / testing facility of the participant’s choice for analysis.
    • Participants who chose this optional action must carry out two (2) faecal tests with a
    minimum of four (4) weeks between each test.
    • All sampling kits must be purchased no later than 13 October 2025.
    • Samples must be submitted to suitable laboratory / testing facility of the farmer’s
    choosing (all faecal samples submitted must be fresh).
    • Farmer must retain copies of the receipts for purchase of the sampling kits and use
    the action record sheet to record the details of the action implementation"
