General information.

There are many species of fly that effect animal production. Sheep are affected by blow flies that lay eggs on the fleece and can burrow onto the skin the feeding larvae cause the wound to spread leading to severe irritation, loss of appetite, rubbing, biting dehydration and infection-death. Dairy cow production can be effected by the biting /nuisance fly, these irritate the animal causing them to stamp their feet swish tails and not eat.

Horses and other domestic animals are also affected by these flies which also known as stable flies cause high levels of annoyance and distress. Animals become irritated and hard to handle. Fly-Ax™ is a preventative product because it works on preventing fly populations from establishing.

Keeping the fly population low at the start on the season and then keeping it under control throughout the season is the key to preventing fly populations from becoming infestations and reducing the likelihood of fly-related problems.

Packaging Fly-Ax™ is packed in 400gm 3kg & 5kg containers
