There<br \/>\nthey penetrate the intestinal wall, migrate through the liver and reach the bile ducts,<br \/>\nwhere they develop into adult liver flukes. In horses, infestation is rare; risk factors<br \/>\ninclude grazing on damp pastures or access to natural water, especially in mixed<br \/>\ngrazing with sheep or cattle. The infection is often asymptomatic. The following signs<br \/>\nare associated with a liver fluke infestation: diarrhoea, apathy, anorexia, emaciation, poor<br \/>\nperformance.
