THE E-BOOK
The e-book is in 3 parts (you can look at the Contents page in the associated pictures) –
- Part 1 sets out the concept behind evidence-based worming that is accepted by equine parasitology experts worldwide
- Part 2 details the step-by-step process with over 75 images, pictures of eggs to count and pictures of things not to count
- Part 3 is stacked full of additional resources if you want to take your knowledge of equine gastrointestinal parasitology to the next level
This manual has been field-tested by horse owners such as yourself who had never done a faecal egg count before, and their feedback has enabled each section of the manual to be fine-tuned so that there is minimal risk of you losing your way when undertaking your first egg count. So jump in, get your own copy (and maybe a FEClab™ Starter Kit as well) and join the growing number of horse women and men who are liberating themselves from traditional worming methods which are not based on evidence.
The manual is wire-bound so that it sits flat on your bench while you are doing the testing, it is A4 in size, 54 pages long and has over 85 images and tables, all painstakingly photographed and designed so that you are not left guessing at any point in the process.
