Liver Fluke Alert!

8th October 2016

Sheep farmers must be on their guard against liver fluke this autumn says Philip Skuce a leading scientist at Moredun. "We are now approaching peak liver fluke season and having experienced one of the mildest winters on record across the UK followed by a very wet summer, some areas of the country are going to have a very high level of liver fluke because these conditions provide ideal conditions for the mud snails that are an essential host during part of the fluke's life-cycle' says Philip.
