Liver Fluke Forecast November 2020
Farmers are being advised on the risks of liver fluke for 2020. This year’s forecast is based on meteorological data gathered between May and October 2020 by Met Éireann.
After an initially drier start in May, the monthly index values for June to September show widespread maximum values due to the wet conditions that occurred. This has resulted in rather high values nationwide which range from 403 to 484. This indicates a widespread prevalence of the disease.
