You need to adhere to the collection schedule. Ideally, collect and ship the samples the same day.

Sample collection:

You will be making composite samples, each containing 2 fecal pellets from 6 goats (12 pellets per bag). A maximum of 5 composite samples will be made from 30 goats.

Fresh samples are a must. Collect rectally or immediately off the ground while still warm.

Place 2 fresh pellets from 6 animals in one bag.

DO NOT put more than 2 pellets per goat in a bag. Submitting more than 2 pellets per goat will skew the test results.

Paperwork and shipping:

Use a ballpoint pen to write on the 2-part carbonless form and make sure the information is clear and readable on both the white and yellow copies of the form.

Indicate the age group(s) sampled on submission form.

Keep samples cool and ship within 24 hours of collection. Wednesday collections must be shipped the same day. Thursday through Saturday shipments are not allowed.

Freeze the 2 ice packs at least 24 hours before collection.

Write the State, operation, and age group sampled on each label.

Cool down samples with ice packs. Keep samples cool and, if necessary, replace ice packs so samples are shipped with frozen ice.

Express air from Whirl-Pak bags, twist down twice, and secure. Do not use label to secure bag closed.

Place samples in a liner bag. Layer the bag between the 2 ice packs inside a second liner bag.

Place the copy of the submission form on top of the Styrofoam™ lid before closing the box. Secure box and ship to ARS in Athens, Georgia, within 24 hours. Send the original submission form to your NAHMS coordinator.

What if you can’t get 5 complete sets of samples (e.g., only 22 goats)? Make as many complete composites as you can and then make a partial composite if you have 2 to 5 goats remaining. Indicate on both the bag and submission form that the composite is a partial. In this example, you will submit 3 complete composite samples and a partial that contains the pellets of 4 goats. (Cannot have a partial of just one goat).

Write on both the form and label the number of animals represented in the partial sample. In the above example, written PARTIAL – 4 goats.
