Liver Fluke - Using antibody testing to decide if and when to treat sheep in the autumn and early winter
As climate change shifts the liver fluke season to later and more unpredictable patterns, early antibody testing offers farmers a way to detect infections within two weeks and time treatments more precisely. Ben is joined by co-host Lesley Stubbings, alongside experts from the University of Liverpool, Flock Health Ltd, and a Lancaster farmer, to explores the benefits of antibody tests and the new on-farm Lateral Flow Test (LFT) for managing fluke risk.
