Heavy infestation of liver fluke causes poor absorption of fats in livestock by

Question

Options

blocking bile ducts thus preventing flow of bile

destroying fat-digesting enzymes

reducing ingestion of fats

inhibiting the action of digestive enzymes

The correct answer is D.

A liver fluke is a parasitic worm. After liver flukes have been ingested, they travel from the intestines to the bile ducts in the liver where they live and grow. They grow so much that they contaminate the bile and this affects fat-digesting enzymes.
