Sampling & Submitting
Dawbuts' Best Practice for sending in faecal samples
Collect sample in the tray provided using one of the following methods:
A) Sample directly from the rectum of 15 animals selected randomly from the entire mob.
B) Calmly move mob into a clean section or corner of the paddock or yard, and hold them for 10-15 minutes. After you have moved them on, collect 15 separate, fresh samples of dung. Fill the collection wells, but don’t let them overflow. Try to avoid putting in grass, dirt, or seeds in with the samples.
Seal airtight by firmly pressing edges and surrounds of wells on the tray.
Place the collection tray in the zip lock bag and place this back into the cardboard box.
Fill out request form. Make sure to fill out all sections.
Include the completed request form inside the box, on top of the zip lock bag (not inside the bag with the collection tray).
Place box in REPLY-PAID post bag and send via Australia Post Express Post. (YELLOW Post Box or at the counter of your local Australia Post outlet)
Keep the yellow sticker with the Australia Post Express tracking number. This will help keep track of the package, should the delivery take longer than expected.
Make sure to send the samples as soon as possible! (preferably the same day) If this cannot be done keep the sample in a cool, dry place, but DO NOT refrigerate as it will destroy the chance to conduct larvals effectively and accurately.
