Rumen fluke may affect thrive, but will generally not kill an animal.

However, they can cause damage to the small intestine at the larval stage as they migrate to the rumen.

There are only two products on the market that will kill rumen fluke: Zanil and Levafas Diamond.

Both contain the active ingredient oxyclozanide. Where there is a specific problem with rumen fluke in an animal, just treat that animal.

Blanket treatment is not advised.
