Abstract
error), or eggs numbers will be over-estimated, particularly if a less sensitive FEC method is used. When comparing subsample 1 and 2 there was little evidence of OD, suggesting that the FEC procedure employed, including weighing and mixing, etc had little impact on clumping. Strongyle eggs are overdispersed within horse faeces and egg density appears to have an impact on OD at bolus level. This has implications leading to potential misclassification when assessing anthelmintic efficacy and requires consideration when conducting FEC. Further work will be conducted to compare FEC methodologies to investigate the impact of multiplication factors on the performance and interpretation of FEC, in the context of treatment recommendations and efficacy. The effect of mixing faeces and faecal sample size prior to sub-sampling and the size of subsample will be investigated to determine whether this minimises variation in equine FEC as a recommendation for future equine FEC protocols.
