Distribution of age of cattle at slaughter by breed and liver fluke status. This figure compares the age distribution at the time of slaughter for different breeds between animals who had livers rejected due to signs of liver fluke infection and those who did not using data from the two year abattoir dataset (n = 169,605). Dotted lines show the mean ages at which fluke negative (red) and fluke positive (blue) cattle are slaughtered. The difference in age of positive and negative animals varies between different breeds, but the mean age of fluke positive animals remains greater or equal to fluke negative animals of all breeds.
