The Problem
Horn flies are one of the most economically detrimental pests for the cattle industry, with an average of $1.8 billion in economic damages per year. These small, black flies remain on the cattle almost continuously and use their piercing bite to draw blood, which is their only source of food*. Unfortunately, flies have developed resistance against pyrethroids, the active ingredient used in ear tags which is the most common way to control horn flies on pasture cattle. Learn more…
The Solution
Pertinent proposes an elegant solution to control horn flies, that should constitute the cornerstone of any Integrated Pest Management program. Pertinent IGR 0.4% Feed-Thru is a feed-through concentrate containing S-Methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), at 0.4% concentration.
The product is incorporated into the cattle mineral supplement and is released in the manure where it breaks the life cycle of insects and prevents adults to develop.
