    Liver Fluke - Using antibody testing to decide if and when to treat sheep in the autumn and early winter

    As the trend towards drier, hotter summers and warmer, wetter winters continues, the liver fluke season is shifting, and the time when grazing animals are picking up liver fluke off pasture is tending to be later but also extremely variable between farms. Lesley and guests discuss how farmers and their vets can use antibody detection early in the liver fluke ‘season’ to pinpoint when (or if) animals have become infected and time any treatment accurately. Antibodies can be detected from as early as two weeks post infection while faecal based coproantigen or egg detection tests are useful much later in the season when the fluke are more mature inside the animal. Lesley is joined by Prof. Diana Williams, University of Liverpool, Vet Phillipa Page from Flock Health Ltd and farmer Michael Rhodes from Lancaster. The panel discuss how to use antibody testing and the new Lateral Flow Test (LFT) developed by University of Liverpool which just requires a drop of blood and can be done quickly on farm.

    Liver Fluke: Dealing with A High Risk Forecast

    Back in series 1 we discussed Liver Fluke but today we’re going to dive into the subject in more detail and talk about how to approach a season where the risk of liver fluke is predicted to be high. In the past many farmers would have heard the risk is high and simply reached for the drench gun - today we want to explore why that is no longer an effective option and talk about the available alternatives.  Host Ben Eagle is joined by Lesley Stubbings, Independent Consultant working with SCOPS. We are also joined by John Graham-Brown from the University of Liverpool, Joe Angell a vet from Wern Vets in North Wales and farmer Alex Crossley.  Useful Links: https://www.nadis.org.uk/parasite-forecast.aspx https://www.scops.org.uk/internal-parasites/liver-fluke/ Testing for liver fluke: A joint SCOPS and COWS webinar to introduce the new lateral flow test | Webinars | National Sheep Association Liver Fluke Rapid Antibody Test | Norbrook Laboratories Lack of efficacy of triclabendazole against Fasciola hepatica is present on sheep farms in three regions of England, and Wales - Kamaludeen - 2019 - Veterinary Record - Wiley Online Library

    Don’t Panic! Coping with a diagnosis of multi-anthelmintic resistance

    In this episode we are talking about multi-anthelmintic resistance and what to do if and when this happens. You have probably heard a lot about increasing resistance to anthelmintics in recent years and there are now reports that worms on some sheep farms have resistance to more than one class of wormer. So in this episode we’ll be asking what this really means.  Ben's co-host is Dr David Bartley, who is a Principal Investigator in the Disease Control Division of Moredun Research Institute. Guests include vet Emily Gascoigne who is based in Dorset and David Cotterell, the farm manager at Kingston Maurward College in Dorchester. The panel tell us what they have learned when it comes to tackling multi anthelmintic resistance on farms and how to maintain effective worm control.  For more information on SCOPS visit www.scops.org.uk For our podcast disclaimer see here - scops.org.uk/podcasts/ Host: Ben Eagle  Co-host: Dr David Bartley (Moredun Research Institute) Guests: Emily Gascoigne (vet, Dorset); David Cotterell (farm manager, Dorset)

    Understanding and implementing a mid/late season break dose

    In this episode we are talking about incorporating a Group 4 or 5 wormer as a mid to late season dose for your lambs. We’ll discuss when and how they can be best used to preserve the efficacy of all the wormer groups and why farmers shouldn’t ‘wait’ to use them.  For more information on SCOPS visit www.scops.org.uk For our podcast disclaimer see here - scops.org.uk/podcasts/ Host: Ben Eagle  Co-host: Lesley Stubbings (sheep consultant) Guests: Nerys Wright (sheep consultant), Chris Elkington (sheep farmer, Lincolnshire) and Joe Henry (vet, Northumberland)
