Veterinarian, Shane McGettrick, who is Laboratory Manager at the Department of Agriculture Regional Veterinary Laboratory in county Sligo is on this week’s OviCast to talk about the fluke challenge this winter.
We start with Shane discussing what fluke-related issues they are seeing in the lab at this point in the season. We discuss the Department’s fluke forecast and how this may be a more challenging season for fluke.
We move on to discuss treatment with Shane highlighting the importance of choosing the correct active ingredient, potential flukicide resistance, and why it’s important to work with your vet to put a control programme in place on farm.
We finish up discussing rumen fluke and the risk it may poses on certain farms.
