- Product features and costs
Warmer conditions bring in the flies, and if the first wave of flies this season is anything to go by, we are in for another big fly season. Last year saw many reports of pinkeye in southern parts of the country, and fingers are pointing at fly pressure playing a significant role.
Pinkeye outbreaks tend to flare-up over the warmer months, as grass seeds, dust and flies play their part in aggravating and spreading the disease.The large role flies play in the transmission of pinkeye throughout the herd has been the driving force behind AusFarm Nutrition Products’ newest innovation in cattle nutrition.
Ongoing research and trials over the past five years culminated in the creation of FlyBye, a specifically formulated combination of several organic and inorganic ingredients, that when ingested, circulate within the blood and, on excretion from the skin, have been shown to repel flies in cattle.
With the development of FlyBye ANP have launched a new supplement specifically designed to aid in reducing the development and transmission of pinkeye by reducing fly pressure and boosting the immunity and general health of cattle during summer.
BoviFlyBye: Fly Controlling Supplement for Cattle Grazing Green Feed is the newest addition to ANP’s Bovi Range of loose-lick supplements and a good follow up to BoviPro-FlyBye: Fly Controlling Supplement for Cattle Grazing Dry Feed, launched last summer.
A study involving one of the individual components of FlyBye saw a reduction of pest-fly coverage on beef cattle by 47% and a reduction of observed defensive behaviours by cattle of 41% (Durunna and Lardner, 2021).
This study has been supported by positive feedback from early adopters of BoviPro-FlyBye in summer last year, most notably in reducing defensive behaviour and the transmission of pinkeye in their cattle.
