Production animal testing with FECPAKG2

FECPAKG2 is a diagnostic tool that performs faecal egg count (FEC) and rumen fluke testing. This innovative solution simplifies the process of parasite testing, offering near-instant results. The equipment is affordable for farmers and scalable for laboratories. It enables farmers to conduct tests conveniently on their property, reducing the time and logistical challenges – such as sample transport - typically associated with traditional parasite management tests.

• Reduces the Development of Drench Resistance: Testing with FECPAKG2 ensures farmers only drench animals when necessary. This avoids the overuse of drenches, which is crucial for protecting the long-term efficacy of anthelmintics. Targeted drenching helps delay the development of drench resistance.
• Cost Savings: By only treating animals when they need it - rather than on a traditional regular cycle - farmers can save thousands in drench costs. What’s more, FECPAKG2 allows farmers to test at a lower per-test cost and eliminates the cost of travelling to deliver samples.
• Reduced Time Spent Drenching: By using FECPAKG2, farmers can significantly reduce the time spent drenching livestock. Testing prior to drenching ensures that animals only receive treatment when their parasite burden warrants it, eliminating unnecessary drenching and freeing up time for other essential farm operations.
• Efficiency and Reduced Carbon Emissions: With FECPAKG2, farmers no longer need to drive to the nearest town or vet clinic to drop off samples or pick up test results. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable farming practice.
• FECPAK is an end-to-end service platform from in clinic through results and data analysis. It is simple to use and requires minimal training; users don’t have to learn to recognise eggs or use a microscope
• Using FECPAK is trends in FEC’s can be monitored from farm to farm, season to season, year to year
• FECPAK provides an image-supported auditable FEC service FECPAK includes comprehensive training and technical support

FECPAKG2 is a streamlined, cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to parasite management and disease control in production animals. By conducting on-farm tests with near-instant results, farmers can make data-driven decisions that enhance livestock health, protect drench efficacy, and minimise unnecessary environmental impacts. This solution is an essential tool for improving farm efficiency and sustainability and contributing to animal health.
