4-Hers prepare to analyze samples
Lehigh County 4-H Livestock club members spent a rainy afternoon learning to be scientists and good animal caretakers with Veterinarian Marie Weber. 4-H members brought fecal samples from their own animals to investigate. After learning the basics of using a microscope, they conducted a fecal float. Looking through the microscope, the 4-H members searched for parasites which are normal unseen to the naked eye. The members identified some common parasites and how to control them, whereby making their animals healthier and happier!
