  • Resumen

  • Fly management is a crucial aspect of horse barn management this time of year. Flies—here we're talking about stable flies, horse flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and more—​are a nuisance to horses and humans alike. They cause our horses discomfort, stress, and even the spread of diseases, such as Potomac horse fever, West Nile virus, pigeon fever, and vesicular stomatitis. And many horses exhibit signs of insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH), and allergic reaction to the saliva of biting flies that results in hives and severe itching. Effective fly management involves a combination of methods, including eliminating breeding sites, using insecticides and repellents, and providing alternative attractants for flies. It's a constant struggle!

    In this episode Dr. Clair and Michelle talk about:

    -Using fly traps and tape;
    -Effective manure management;
    -Nutrition strategies that might help horses cope;
    -Applying insecticide and repellent sprays and ointments; and
    -Water bucket and feed tub management to limit insect breeding grounds.

    Join us as we discuss implementing a multifaceted approach to fly management!
