Keeping pests away from your livestock is crucial for their well-being and the biosecurity of your facilities.
Flies are often an underestimated menace to cattle producers and can significantly impact the well-being and profitability of your herd through:
- Reduced weight gain
- Reduced milk production
- Disease transmission
Fly infestations can cause agitation and discomfort, which interrupts grazing resulting in compromised nutrition and production losses.
Yearly weights can be reduced by up to 18%,1 contributing to $1 billion in annual losses to the U.S. livestock industry due to horn flies.2 Add to this that stable flies cost producers an estimated $2.2 billion annually,2 and it is evident that flies are more than just a nuisance.
Managing flies and other pests with a targeted control point approach is an important step. Control costly ticks, flies and lice with the largest portfolio in cattle.
