We are now testing the faeces for spore counts actually ingested by the animals as opposed to pasture samples which can vary immensly by and even in the same paddock.  This will prove to be more accurate, however you will need to be proactive on the rising trends of the counts because the animals will already have the spores in their systems.

Spore Count Range

     FAECAL SAMPLE RANGES

• 0 - 200,000 = Low
• 200,000 - 600,000 = Medium
