Status and effect of fascioliasis in buffaloes kept extensively in a farm in Sabah, Malaysia

This study was carried out to determine the status and possible effect of fascioliasis among buffaloes kept extensively in the Buffalo Breeding and Research Centre at Telupid, Sabah, Malaysia. Forty adult four-year old buffaloes from a herd of 250 animals were selected for the study. Faecal samples...
