Description
The Equine Diarrhea Panel looks for common causes of gastroenteritis in horses. The presence of bacterial pathogens, including Salmonella spp. are assessed using the Enteric Aerobic Culture. Rhodococcus equi will be assessed in foals.
The presence of parasitic pathogens, including protozoa and helminths, are assessed using Fecal Flotation.
This panel does not include tests for other causes of gastroenteritis in horses such as viruses (rotavirus, coronavirus, others), fungi and algae. The laboratory will assist with additional testing as needed.
