Tolerance of liver fluke infection varies between breeds and producers in Scottish beef cattle

2020-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Liver fluke ( Fasciola spp.) are important helminth parasites of livestock globally and cause significant reductions in health and productivity of beef cattle. Attempts to control fluke have been thwarted by the difficulty of vaccine design, the evolution of flukicide resistance, and the need to control the intermediate snail host. Mechanisms to reduce the impact of parasites on animal performance have typically...
