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.
对在谢泼顿屠宰场宰杀的16776头1至3周龄小牛的肝脏进行了检查，以寻找感染肝片吸虫的明显肉眼可见证据。对那些胆管增厚的肝脏进行切片检查，以确定是否存在肝吸虫。从其中84个肝脏中收集到108条肝片吸虫，小牛产前感染的最低患病率为0.5%。结合其他国家的报告对这些结果进行了讨论。
