How Livestock Contracts Liver Fluke
Animals are infected by ingesting encapsulated larvae (metacercariae) on contaminated grass. Typically,individual farms will have wet “flukey areas” that should not be used or grazed at times of the year when metacercariae are likely to be present, i.e. late summer to winter (depending on climatic conditions). However,cattle and sheep often graze on such areas. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that liver fluke infection is absent from any area of Ireland.
