The three-step strategy is designed for poultry houses where manure is allowed to accumulate for up to a year under the conventional “deep-pit” method The steps are Reintroduction of two species of mites which have been wiped out by excessive spraying of chemicals for housefly control; Reintroduction of hister beetles, which met a similar fate; Introduction of a new parasitic wasp now being raised by commercial suppliers in California. One species of this tiny insect favors moist conditions and the other does better in a dry environment Heilman commented that mites and beetles have long been the reason that the “deep-pit” manure system has been successful But they have been wiped out in many cases in recent years by poultrymen who were trying too hard to control houseflies with chemicals. The result has sometimes been a “chemical tread mill," where flies developed immunity to the sprays, and their natural enemies the mites and beetles were totally destroyed in poultry houses Thus, fly populations got out of hand for some poultrymen Then, on windy days, hordes of flies get blown several miles down the road, creating a nuisance for homeowners in nearby housing developments Heilman emphasized the best answer to fly control in poultry houses is a three- The Wic bedding chopper chops straw, hay or corn foddei and spreads it uniformly under your cows, all in a single operation When you use chopped bedding, you save on straw and your cows stay much cleaner On top of that, cleaning up is a breeze The only bedding chopper supplied with a mechanism permitting 3 different cutting lengths Available with either a shp or 7hp gas operated Honda motor, a 24 volt electric (battery operated) motor, or a 230 volt electric motor For a sales concession or the purchase of a machine, contact your local dealer SAVES: * TIME ★ MONEY ★ LABOR • Simple to run • Highly Efficient • Easily Handled CREUTZBURGINC.
