With NADIS parasite forecast reporting that, “very extensive areas of grazing will have remained wet through the summer this year, and will therefore be potentially high-risk grazing areas for fluke disease”, and warning of a “risk of a very high prevalence of liver fluke disease in all of Scotland, Wales and western England.”, further fluke treatments for your flock will most likely be needed in late winter/early spring
Liver Fluke & Productivity
Liver fluke can have a profound effect on the productivity of sheep, with lowered ewe fertility and reduced lambing percentages. Liver fluke infections in ewes can reduce multiple births by up to 10%, and lamb birth weights can be reduced by more than 5%. In infected lambs, weight gain can be reduced by up to 30% leading to much increased finishing times.
