Fly Control for Horses

Spring is the time of year when flies begin to reemerge and pester our horses. In this podcast, we first provide an overview of the types of flies that bother our horses. Flies are also a concern because they can harm our horses through the spread of disease. From a nutritional point of view, flies can lead to loss of body condition. Further, horses can and often do suffer stress from flies by either the fly pestering them through constant buzzing, feeding off the horse's secretions, like around the eyes, and from biting them. All in all, flies are a major nuisance to horses and horse owners alike. Thus, in this episode, we focus much of our discussion on fly control. With all the tools available to horse owners, one newer area is the introduction of feedthrough fly products. We describe what exactly these are and how they work.
