Horn Fly Management

P. E. Kaufman and E. N. I. Weeks

Horn flies are one of the livestock pests with the greatest impact on the health and productivity of cattle. Economic losses due to horn fly damage are estimated at $36 million annually in Florida alone. In the U.S.A. annual losses total between $700 million and $1 billion, with up to $60 million spent on insecticidal control. Horn fly damage is caused by blood feeding. The flies feed frequently and exclusively on blood, piercing the skin of cattle with their proboscis and taking around 20 small blood meals each day. Pain and irritation due to the constant presence of the flies and their bites causes defensive behavior in the cattle that prevents adequate food consumption and rest.

Horse Bots

This document provides an overview of horse bots, Gasterophilus spp., which are internal parasites of horses. It details their biology, life cycle, and seasonal abundance, highlighting the symptoms and damage they cause, such as stomach ulcers and esophageal paralysis. The article also discusses control measures, including grooming, insecticides, and veterinary treatments, to effectively manage horse bot infestations. Originally published as Livestock Protection Pointer Number 8, 1976.
