Offcanvas Section

You can publish whatever you want in the Offcanvas Section. It can be any module or particle.

By default, the available module positions are offcanvas-a and offcanvas-b but you can add as many module positions as you want from the Layout Manager.

You can also add the hidden-phone module class suffix to your modules so they do not appear in the Offcanvas Section when the site is loaded on a mobile device.

Sheep Improvement Scheme

€45.00

The Sheep Improvement Scheme kit for Worm Egg Count contains:

10 sample pots, a submission form, guidelines, and pre-addressed, postage-ready envelopes.

Samples are tested using the modified McMaster method. The test requires 10 fresh dung samples from individual animals. In the laboratory, samples are mixed in equal proportions to prepare a composite sample, which is then screened for the presence of several species of parasites:

  • Trichostrongylus sp. (bankrupt worm)
  • Strongyloides sp. (threadworm)
  • Nematodirus sp. (threadneck worm)
  • Monezia sp. (tapeworm)
  • Coccidia oocysts
  • Trichuris sp. (whipworm)
  • Lungworm

Results are given in a number of observed parasite eggs per 1 gram of composite sample.

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