El2-lancast«r Farming, Saturday, February 17,1990 QUINCY, m. Mid-February marks the beginning of the hom fly season in the southern states, with infestation in the northern areas beginning in spring and last ing through summer. When hom flies attack, they torment cattle, resulting in sizable losses in feed efficiency, rate of gain, and milk production. During the last few years, a bar rage of products have been intro duced to prevent performance los ses from the pesty flies. The pro ducts fall into three categories; eartags, which are impregnated with an insecticide; topical pro ducts such as sprays and those which are applied with dustbags and backrubbers; and feed through products. According to Dr. A. L. French, an entomologist at Moorman Manufacturing Co., feed-through products offer several advantages that a producer won’t find in ear tags or topical products. A feed-through product is ingested by the animal and passed in the manure, where horn flies make their breeding ground. The Use Feed-Through Product For Horse Flies * product prevents the flies from developing past the immature pupal stage, thus eliminating adult fly development Some feed-through products have not been associated with resistance problems, a major drawback in using eartags. In some areas of the country—parti cularly in the southern states several eartag customers have reported that the devices were not effective after even a few years use because of resistance to the insecticide in the eartags. Repents of resistance problems are fewer, however, from producers using one particular feed-through pro duct' This product Moor Man’s IGR Minerals*, has a 14-year his tory with no resistance problems reported. Feed-through products require no extra labor for administration. They can be self-fed using con ventional methods. Sprays and eartags require additional hand ling for application and may require additional equipment. Compared to average prices fra eartags and topical products, Moor Man’s feed-through pro ducts are very competitive. Moor man’s IGR Mineral Products incorporate the benefits of horn fly control plus 10S years of min eral nutrition in one convenient product. Another major advantage in using a feed-through product is the benefit derived from the nutri ents in the product. Not only do IGR minerals prevent horn flies from developing, they also supply cattle with a scientific balance of minerals to help maximize growth and enhance the utilization of nutrients from other feeds. 00" Supal Suppi Inflated Pneum.
