The Control of Fascioliasis–-The Need for a Planned Approach

Abstract

Liver fluke disease of sheep still takes a heavy toll in Great Britain despite the fact dial various means of gaining a measure of relief have long been available. Draining and grazing management should be supplemented by the use of molluscicides for pasture treatment and chemicals for dosing stock. With die aid of forecasts of expected incidence, based on weather reports, these steps could ensure substantial progress towards control.
