Department publishes liver fluke forecast for this winter

Livestock owners should be vigilant for any signs of illness or ill-thrift in their animals.

The Ollerenshaw Summer Index 2022 predicts infection will be prevalent in the west and northwest, with occasional losses in the midlands, east Munster and north Leinster.
