FECPAK G2
FECPAK G2
Detection of internal parasites and faecal egg sampling were some of the needs identified by farmers in the Sm@rt project. The FECPAKG2 was proposed by the Irish partner to address these needs. The FECPAK G2 kit is a diagnostic platform which facilitates the undertaking of faecal egg counts without the requirement for a laboratory or the need to send faecal samples to a laboratory. It is image based which enables sampling to be undertaken at any time and uploaded through computer software. To use the FECPAKG2 kit, a detailed guide on sample preparation, connecting the device to the internet and uploading the images through the FECPAK software need to be followed. Results will be sent back to the person who uploaded the sample images within 24 hours. The tool doesn't diagnose the presence of liver fluke and requires a computer with internet access, but has the advantage of being able to be undertaken without laboratory facilities and results are fast.
