Gross Examination: 4 things we look for:

for fecal smears start at _A_ power. best detail is seen in _B_ power. A _C_ can help you identify eggs by size.

what density or SG does a solution have to be in order to suspend eggs to the top?

what 3 floatation solutions do we use?

which floatation solution is best for giardia?

what type of analysis is used for large animals

for ___, use sedimentation technique bc eggs are heavy enough to sink

fecal culture:

put sample in a covered jar that has been rinsed with _A_. Store in the dark for _B_ days. Larvae can be found in _C_.

a good method of testing for nematodes in which larvae will sink in warm water. it includes a ring stand, funnel, tube with clamp, and cheesecloth.
