Free fecal egg analysis

The University of Rhode Island is offering free fecal egg count analysis to assist with selective breeding for resistance to gastrointestinal worms.

The service is open to National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) members wanting to generate estimated breeding values (EBVs) for parasite resistance.

It is also open to non-NSIP members living in New England, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia.
