Continentals Study Wool Sheep Fly Strike Trials
The Commonwealth Council for Scientific and Industrial Research reports on an experiment near Walgett testing Mules operation to prevent fly strike in sheep. From July 1937 to 1938, 600 plus weaned lambs were split into treated and control groups with detailed records. Results show continued promise in reducing strikes, while research also tackles attractive, repellents, baits, dressings, and lamb marking. The report notes wool and cotton market dynamics and continental demand affecting prices and future exports.
