I am an MSc student at the university of Lincoln researching liver fluke in the UK, particularly the prevalence of liver fluke (and how it is managed) to provide an up-to-date view of its distribution and attitudes of farmers towards it. Data will be collected through a questionnaire directed at livestock farmers in the UK focusing on sheep and/or cattle, with questions looking at farm and herd characteristics, along with farm liver fluke history. This study is open to cattle and sheep farmers in the UK. If you are interested in taking part, please visit https://liverflukeuol.weebly.com or email the researcher (Alice Buckner) at [email protected] for more information.
Previously a free livestock parasite test was offered along with the questionnaire, however due to time and resource constraints this is no longer available. Responses to the questionnaire (available at https://liverflukeuol.weebly.com ), however are still greatly appreciated.
This project has been approved by the University of Lincoln Ethics Committee (ethics reference 2020_3953).
