MASTERFLY® BAIT: effective fly control for up to 8 months

In dairy cattle, sheep, and goats farms, the presence of flies not only causes discomfort but also affects animal health and production efficiency. In addition to causing stress and reducing feed intake, these insects can transmit diseases, compromising animal welfare and the biosecurity of the facilities.

Masterfly^® Bait offers an effective and long-lasting solution, attracting and quickly eliminating flies with a single application that maintains its effect for up to 8 months.

Its innovative formulation, which combines a powerful insecticide with pheromone attractant, makes it a key tool for integrated pest management in the ruminants sector.

THE IMPACT OF FLIES IN THE RUMINANTS SECTOR

The presence of flies in livestock facilities can cause significant damage, affecting production and animal health.

They decrease production due to the stress they generate in the animals, which reduce their feed intake, slowing their growth and decreasing meat production.

They cause discomfort in animals due to:

Constant irritation: non-biting species, such as the housefly (Musca domestica), feed on ocular and nasal secretions of pigs, causing discomfort and stress.

Disruption of rest: flies disrupt the rest patterns of animals, affecting their welfare and growth.

Wounds and infections: some species feed on wound exudates, hindering healing and promoting secondary infections.

Hematophagous flies: some species, such as the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans), feed on blood, causing pain and even greater stress in animals.

Anemia and weakness: frequent bites can cause anemia in animals, weakening them and making them more vulnerable to diseases.

They promote the spread of diseases:

Pathogen vectors: flies can carry viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi on their legs and mouthparts, contaminating food, water, and surfaces within the farm.

Transmission of diseases: they are responsible for the spread of conditions such as myiasis, mastitis, and enteric diseases.

Impact on human health: by acting as vectors of zoonotic diseases, flies can transmit infections from animals to farm workers.

HYGIENIC AND PHYSICAL MEASURES FOR THE PREVENTION AND ELIMINATION OF FLIES IN RUMINANT FARMS

Flies represent a recurring problem on farms, affecting animal welfare, biosecurity, and productivity. Therefore, the implementation of hygienic, physical, and chemical measures is essential for their prevention and control.

HYGIENIC MEASURES

Management of organic waste

Proper management of excrement and food scraps is essential to reduce the attraction of flies, so it is recommended:

Periodically remove manure and store it in areas away from the production area.

Implement composting systems or slurry treatment to minimize their impact.

Avoid the accumulation of decomposing food.

Cleaning and disinfection

Establish a regular cleaning protocol for all farm areas.

Use effective disinfectants on surfaces where larvae may proliferate.

Maintain drains and septic tanks in optimal conditions to avoid puddles that facilitate fly reproduction.

PHYSICAL MEASURES

Physical barriers

Installation of mosquito nets on windows and openings to prevent insect access.

Use of plastic curtains at entrances to minimize fly entry.

Environmental control

Improve ventilation in facilities to reduce humidity and heat, conditions favorable for fly reproduction.

Properly manage the level of moisture in the soil and in the spaces where feed is stored.

CHEMICAL MEASURES

Use of larvicides for control in humid areas.

Use of adulticidal insecticides for application on surfaces.

Use of bait attractants to lure and eliminate flies.
