Abstract
Hepatic fasciolosis represents a major health and production concern in sheep farming. Although ultrasonography has been used to evaluate fasciolosis in ruminants, the feasibility of a rapid ultrasonographic protocol performed in standing sheep under field conditions has not been specifically described. This study aimed to provide a preliminary, descriptive evaluation of the feasibility of a fast on-farm ultrasonographic protocol for the assessment of hepatic alterations in sheep with suspected chronic fasciolosis.
