Precautions during collection of fecal sample
1. Fecal sample must be collected directly from the rectum.
22. Fecal sample must be preserved in clean container that keeps the moisture as sealed plastic bag, plastic cup with cover or screw capped glass container.
3. Sufficient quantity of the sample must be
5
obtained to permit through examination.
4. It is essential to label the container with number, name and date of collection.

6. Fecal sample must be preserved directly after collection in cold container.
7 Fecal sample must be transported directly
Precautions during collection of fecal sample
7. Fecal sample must be transported directly after collection to the laboratory.
8. Samples that will be examined in the same day of collection must be kept in the refrigerator.
6
9. For prolonged storage, formalin 3% must be added to the fecal sample.
10.In case of negative results, fecal sample must be collected and examined for three days.

2. Color of fecesColor of feces is influenced by:
• Nature of feed.• Concentration of bile in the feces.• Rate of passage of ingesta through theRate of passage of ingesta through the
digestive tract.
Dark brown or black feces may be due to:
a. Hemorrhage in the stomach or small intestine.b. Feeding diet rich in meat.
11
c. Oral administration of iron, sulphur or bismuth compound.
d. Elimination of excessive amount of bilirubin.
Red color ……………Blood

3. Odour of feces
Freshly voided feces are normally odorless.
Offensive or fetid odour occurs in cases of:
• Obstruction of bile flow.

• Excessive protein intake.
• Coccidia infestations or salmonella infection.

Depends upon:• Water content.• Type of feedType of feed.• Rate of passage of ingesta through the
digestive tract.
•Watery feces observed in cases of diarrhea.
•Milk fed animal excrete feces with medium

•Milk fed animal excrete feces with medium consistency.
•Dehydration causes the formation of firm balls of feces.

5. Presence of blood
• Bleeding in the rectum causes appearance f f h d bl d th t f fof fresh red blood on the outer surface of
fecal balls.
• Feces mixed with dark red colour indicate hemorrhage in the small intestine.
• Bleeding into the stomach gives feces

• Bleeding into the stomach, gives feces black tarry colour (melena).

a. Direct smearImportance:
1. QUALITATIVE EVALUATION METHODS
• Very quick and simple to prepare.• Is efficient only when parasitic ova or oocysts
are present in increased numbers.
Interpretation1. Test is screen.2 Negative cases necessitate that concentration

2. Negative cases necessitate that concentration techniques are required.
3. Positive cases need further examination with high power magnification that may assist their identification.

b. Concentration techniques:
1. Sedimentation
Principle
1. QUALITATIVE EVALUATION METHODS
Principle
The sedimentation technique is a
qualitative method for detecting trematode
eggs in the faeces. Most trematode eggs are
l ti l l d h d t
20
relatively large and heavy compared to
nematode eggs. This technique concentrates
them in sediment.

2. Floatation
Principle
b. Concentration techniques
Flotation method is a qualitative test for
the detection of nematode, cestodes eggs and
coccidia oocysts in the faeces. It is based on
the separating of eggs from faecal material and
21
the separating of eggs from faecal material and
concentrating them by means of a flotation fluid
with an appropriate specific gravity.

3. Sedimentation - floatation technique
Principle
The sedimentation and flotation method
technique is a qualitative method for detecting
trematode eggs in the sediment and also for the
22
detection of nematode, cestodes eggs and
coccidia oocysts in the flotation fluid.

c. Baermann Wetzel funnel technique
Principle
The Baermann technique is used to isolateThe Baermann technique is used to isolate
lungworm larvae from faecal samples of cattle and
equines and infective larvae from faecal cultures.
It is based on the active migration of larvae from
23
faeces suspended in water and their subsequent
collection and identification.
www.education.advetresearch.com
d. Vaida technique
Principle
The Vaida technique is used to isolate
lungworm larvae from faecal samples of
sheep and goat. It is based on the active
24
migration of larvae from faeces suspended in
water and their subsequent collection and
identification.

e. Culture of nematode larvae
PrincipleMany nematode eggs are similar and species
such as Haemonchus Mecistocirrus Ostertagiasuch as Haemonchus, Mecistocirrus, Ostertagia, Trichostrongylus, Cooperia, Bunostomum, and Oesophagostomum cannot be clearly differentiated from the eggs in faecal samples. For these parasites, differentiation can be achieved by the use of faecal cultures. They
25
achieved by the use of faecal cultures. They provide a suitable environment for the hatching and development of helminth eggs into the infective stage.

5. Sporulation of coccidian Oocyst
• This technique is needed to identify coccidia.
• Mix a fresh sample of faeces with several volumes of 2.5 % potassium dichromate solution and transfer thin layer of the mixture to Petri dish or other glass container. Oxygen is necessary for oocyst
26
yg y ydevelopment.
• Sporulation will occur in few days to weeks.

2. QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION METHODS
(McMaster Counting Technique)
The simplest and most effective method for determining the number of eggs or oocysts per gram of faeces is the McMaster Counting Technique.
The McMaster counting technique is a quantitative technique to determine the number
27
of eggs present per gram of faeces (e.p.g.). A flotation fluid is used to separate eggs from faecal material in a counting chamber (McMaster) with two compartments.
