On Equi Analytical's Analytical Service Packages page they have a list of individual tests you can get, so you can get crude protein too, or just wait till you find a suitable low s/s hay and then,

Based on fecal testing and the fact my horses have no exposure to other horses manure, I am going to cut down on my monthly ivermectin worming’s. I don’t know if I will worm them again unless a
