DrenchRite® Update
The DrenchRite® test is no longer available at the University of Georgia. Dr. Adriano Vatta (avatta2@lsu.edu) at Louisiana State University intends to offer the test and he is currently working on validating the assay in his lab. This is expected to take some time. Further updates will be made here in due course.
The DrenchRite® test offers an alternative to the laborious task of performing fecal egg count reductions and can test for resistance to all dewormer groups in a single test. An added bonus is that the test also identifies the species of parasites in the sample. The test requires a pooled sample from at least 10 animals.
