Sampling:

Take some feces from the coop/cage/aviary and place it in a plastic bag/jar/envelope/folded paper. A filled bottom of 3 cm is more than sufficient. Make sure to collect both fresh (wet) and older (dry) feces from different days and various locations.

​

You can choose to take the manure from different animals separately or together. 

 

Shipping manure sample:

Place the manure together with the form to be downloaded in an envelope and stick it on. Envelope weight: 0-100 grams (2 stamps); 100-350grams (3 stamps). Shipping must take place on the day of sampling.

You can always bring the manure directly to us at the practice.
