Almost half of Irish herds have animals with signs of liver fluke
Liver fluke infection is predicted to be most prevalent in the west and northern half of the country.
There is an increased risk of cattle contracting Liver Fluke this winter, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has advised farmers countrywide.
The forecast is based on meteorological data gathered between May and October by Met Éireann and the Department, in collaboration with UCD, Teagasc and Animal Health Ireland.
