Prenatal infection with Fasciola Hepatica in calves. 1975

J B Rees, and W E Sykes, and M D Rickard

The livers from 16,776 calves 1 to 3 weeks of age slaughtered at Shepparton abattoirs were examined for gross evidence of infection with Fasciola hepatica. Those livers with thickened bile ducts were examined for the presence of liver fluke by slicing. One hundred and eight F. hepatica were collected from 84 of these livers, giving a minimum prevalence rate of prenatal infection of calves of 0.5%. These results are discussed in context with reports from other countries.
