Early Winter Bot Treatment For Best Results
December and January are the best months to treat horses for bot control per the American Veterinary Medical Association. Early winter concentrates bot larvae in the stomach, making medication effective and may also eliminate many roundworms. The program improves winter feed use and spring condition. Untreated bats can damage the stomach and hinder digestion, while breaking the bat fly life cycle now prevents a spring reinfestation. Area-wide bot treatments are organized in some regions to reduce next season’s bot fly problem.
