Beef Environmental Efficiency Programme Sucklers (BEEP-S)

The test is based on a faecal sedimentation method. It requires 10 fresh dung samples taken from individual animals. In our laboratory, samples are mixed in equal proportions to prepare a composite sample which is then screened for the presence of liver and rumen fluke eggs (Fasciola hepatica and Calicophoron daubnei, respectively). The laboratory will report only the presence or absence of parasites as per DAFM recommendations. The client will be notified in case of serious infestations being detected.

Results for individual animals will not be reported unless the customer specifically requests them before submitting samples for testing.
