🪰We've recently seen some cases of flystrike and the NADIS alert indicates the risk is high - the recent weather has been perfect for flies and they're definitely about! 🪰

It's better to be proactive with fly control and dag/shear animals sooner rather than later.
Avoiding fly breeding areas is also important i.e. open water, mucky areas where animals congregate & defaecate.
If possible it's better to avoid fly treating before shearing due to the risk it poses to the shearer, otherwise treat well before shearing and warn your shearer that you've applied fly products.

We stock a few different fly treatment products, so please get in touch if you need something to treat your animals with. And if you find a case of fly strike in your stock please contact for veterinary advice.
