Wool blowfly protection breakthrough in Australia
Gourlay of Sydney and Sir Frederick McMaster helped develop a fixing medium for a blowfly prevention block used on sheep. Dr. Watt notes copper solutions owe their effect to wool staining, not poison. Blowfly losses cost Australia up to 50,000 pounds annually, plus labor and materials. Protection lasts after dipping and crotching. Watt can supply more information from Wellington.
