Farmer-Scientist Network

Cumbrian and Yorkshire Dales farmers have joined forces with disease experts on a joint approach to tackle liver fluke disease.

By working together over the past three years, uplands farmers and disease experts have used a collaborative approach to design, implement and understand disease control programmes in a more meaningful and efficient way. Join us as we share the positive results from this project with a specific focus on Liver fluke disease and how these learning could help your farm.You will learn:•	How this collaborative approach between farmers, veterinary practices and disease experts has enabled better knowledge and understanding of the disease •	How a ‘bottom-up’ approach has helped to keep the focus on practical needs of farmers•	How this approach has empowered farmers and their vets to identify and solve their problems with the disease with a commitment towards sustaining a workable health programme<h3>Agenda</h3><ul><li>Introduction</li></ul><ul><li>Methods</li></ul><ul><li>Case studies</li></ul><ul><li>Results</li></ul><ul><li>Lesson learned</li></ul><ul><li>Q&amp;A </li></ul>
