Local veterinarians and farm bureaus plan wide horse treatment with minimal fees to reduce bot fly eggs and maggots in the stomachs, aiming for 90 percent coverage to lower fly numbers next year. Also notes hog cholera losses in Iowa this year are lower than last year due to vaccination and serum availability.
