Plan to Rid Horses of Bot Flies by Area Treatment
The plan calls for farmers in a township to have all horses treated by a local veterinarian using effective drugs. Treatment, done on adjoining farms for efficiency, aims to improve winter condition and spring performance, cut feed costs, reduce colics, and lessen summer bot fly harassment. Readers are directed to contact their county agent or veterinarian or request Farmers' Bulletin 1503 or Extension Bulletin 167 for details. The report also lists recent infectious disease outbreaks among livestock across several Iowa towns for warning and prevention.
