Your partner in managing worm burdens across Victoria.

On site worm egg counts, paired with professional, independent, experienced advice. For a recommendation you can act on and trust.

We don’t sell drench products and are 100% independent from any agricultural retailer.

Sustainable and effective worm control in sheep has never been more important.

Central Stock Health is an on site worm egg count provider- we also provide drench resistance testing services, ASBV services, as well as lung worm and liver fluke testing.

We make it easier for producers to get quality advice on time, without the delays and inconvenience of postal tests. We deliver accurate counts alongside professional, actionable advice you can trust, offering more than just figures delivered by distant labs. We service sheep-based commercial operations. We can provide results for cattle operations.

On-site sample collection and counting allows us to accurately assess your livestock and guide the best use of your on-farm resources- while eliminating the process of ordering sample kits, sample collection and postage, and decoding results on your own.

Our service is more than just numbers on a page, and aims to provide a long term solution for farmers- we make plans for producers that help them reduce their parasite burden, plan for required drenches, and detect infections early to reduce your property’s pasture contamination. Early detection of worm infections, before clinical signs appear, ensure your stock’s productivity, help you get the most money out of the drenches you do have to administer, and extend the effective life of drenches on your property.

With a new, effective chemical unlikely to land on the market for years to come- it is critical that producers adopt responsible drench practices. Incorporating worm egg counts is no longer optional- it is the future of sustainable worm control.

Let us be a partner in your operation. Let us help you to make smarter, more targeted decisions for your stock.
