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. It is also a great opportunity to refresh your knowledge and get up to date ahead of what could be a challenging liver fluke season.
