Fascioliasis hepatica is a parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica that lives in the bile ducts of animals.A clinical examination on a case of goat farming in a certain farmer was comducted in Tongling, Anhui Province, and confirms it was diagnosed as fascioliasis. It targeted treatment plans were provided and corresponding preventive measures were proposed. In August 2024, the goats raised by a certain farmer successively showed symptoms such as elevated body temperature (39.5 to 41℃) and significantly pale mucous membranes. The pathological features were manifested as multiple grayish-yellow necrotic foci in the liver tissue, which were dark in color and uneven in texture. The boundaries of the necrotic areas were relatively clear, and there were larvae and adults of Fasciola hepatica in the gallbladder and bile ducts. The eggs were brownish-yellow. The highest number of fecal eggs was 7 500 per/g, and the infection intensity was relatively high. In terms of treatment, trichlorobendazole (10 mg/kg) was used for deworming in micro and light goats, supplemented with concentrated feed and immunomodulators. For severely affected goats, nitrochlorophenol (5-8 mg/kg) was selected for deworming. At the same time, targeted treatment methods such as intravenous infusion (for dehydrated and electrolyte disordered goats) and anemia treatment (for anemic goats) were adopted. Preventive measures included regular deworming once a year at the end of autumn, the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring, piling and fermenting the manure from the sheep farm, harmless treatment of diseased goats by deep burial or incineration, choosing high altitude, dry and well ventilated pastures and implementing a rotational grazing system, strengthening the source control and hygiene maintenance of forage and drinking water use a 20 mg/L copper sulfate solution or 20% ammonia water for snail extermination. This article provides a reference for the scientific prevention and treatment of fascioliasis.
