Immature worm stages don’t produce eggs, so they can’t be ‘seen’ by a worm egg count test, but they can be destructive, especially if in large numbers. If you receive a low WormTest result but are concerned that sheep have been exposed to a large infection from barber’s pole worm or liver fluke, a follow-up worm test in 10 days (e.g. barber’s pole) to 8 weeks (liver fluke), is your best bet.
