| Description |
The Fecal Flotation Test is for identifying internal gastrointestinal parasites. The UVDL generally performs the Modified Wisconsin floatation method for all companion animals and the McMasters method for all ruminants and horses. Both methods allow the UVDL to report quantitative parasite counts per gram. |
