Parasitology: Liver Fluke (Cattle, Sheep)

Liver fluke infections are a significant health concern for cattle and sheep, causing liver damage, weight loss, reduced milk production, and even death in severe cases. The liver fluke test, using the sedimentation technique,  detects fluke eggs in faecal samples, providing a critical tool for diagnosing and managing this parasitic disease.

The test is essential for developing effective fluke control strategies, such as targeted treatments and pasture management, to reduce exposure and infestation rates. Regular testing helps farmers keep their livestock healthy and maintain optimal productivity.
