Fly control is a huge deal to any of your animals’ comfort and happiness. Flies cause problems to the farmer and the animal. On average the biting insects feed off your animals’ blood 20-30 times a day. This causes your animal to use more of their energy at fighting off flies than growing and producing their product. Poor reproductive performance and calf development can be linked to the lack of fly control.
