Livestock Herd Pooling

Cost-Effective Parasite Screening for Cattle, Sheep & Goats

Pooling is when small fecal samples from multiple animals are combined and tested as one composite sample.

Herd pool testing is an affordable way to monitor parasite pressure across a group of animals.

This provides:

✔ Herd-level parasite overview
✔ Cost-effective screening
✔ Strategic monitoring tool
✔ Reduced testing cost per animal

Pooling is commonly used in sheep, goat, and cattle operations for herd management decisions.

When Is Pool Testing a Good Fit?

Herd pooling works well for:

✔ Seasonal herd surveillance
✔ Pasture group monitoring
✔ Early parasite pressure checks
✔ Large herds
✔ Budget-conscious operations

It’s ideal for routine screening and trend tracking.

Pooling is commonly used for routine herd monitoring in Ontario livestock operations.
