Levels of liver fluke in the UK have been relatively low in recent years. However, after a wet and mild summer and autumn in many areas, forecasts are predicting that 24/25 will buck the trend, resulting in a high liver fluke challenge for some areas.

We invite you to join SCOPS and COWS to hear about this exciting new tool, a lateral flow test for liver fluke, developed by University of Liverpool and made commercially available by Norbrook.
