not so sure on that boss. upland drainage is causing huge problems with soil erosion and flooding.

I never said you said you were, but its a possibility. however if your not we'll have to re-evaluate the problem. its definitly coming from the fodder, unless of course your licking........... we wont go there.
are you on slats???

I'd imagine you'd make a good shilling off the turf,Midlands area was always fantastic for the turf

The recent heavy showers will have increased levels of liver fluke in the last few weeks. Anything in grass will need a dose

The sheep liver fluke, also called the Fasciola hepatica, and the Fasciola gigantica, are two kinds of parasites that typically infect herbivores - like sheep - but can also cause infection in humans. Usually, the eggs of the liver fluke are discharged in the stool of an infected animal. The eggs then embryonate in water, releasing miracidia, and then infect a snail as the intermediate host. Once inside the snail, the parasite transforms itself into metacercariae until it is ready to release itself from the snail and wait on plant life, such as watercress, for unsuspecting herbivores or humans to eat it. The animal, or the human, eats the plant and consequently, the parasite, and becomes infected.

In humans, it takes the nearly three to four months for the metacercariae to develop into an adult liver fluke of the F. hepatica or the F. gigantica varieties. However, once they are fully grown, they can be 30 - 75 mm, respectively. The related medical condition is called fascioliasis. Fascioliasis is most common where cattle and sheep are raised and where humans consume watercress. Symptoms include fever, abdominal pain, and eosinophilia; however, nearly 50% of those affected do not have any symptoms at all.

The other common parasites that cause liver fluke infection are the Opisthorchis viverrini, Clonorchis sinensis, and Opisthorchis felineus. They are endemic in nature in areas of Eastern Europe and East Asia. One 2001 study in Thailand has concluded that nearly 6 million individuals have Opisthorchiasis, an infection due to liver fluke. Most often, infection occurs where cyprinoid fish that is uncooked is common in the diet.
