HELP DISCOURAGE NUISANCE INSECTS AND SUPPORT LIVESTOCK GROWTH
Getting the best out of summer grazing to keep stock growing on target can be a perennial problem for livestock farmers. Grazed grass is your most cost e ective feed input providing important nutrients to livestock; however it is well known that it can be de cient in many of the micro-nutrients essential for growth and performance. Grass quality also can be very variable and its nutritional value starts declining from mid-summer onwards.
Controlling flies and biting insects throughout the grazing season is another challenge for farmers. Research has demonstrated that flies can seriously affect animal performance, with growth rates being decreased by up to 0.3kg/day in cattle*. Studies have shown that fly worry has caused weight loss of upto 5.5kg over a 4 to 6 day period in sheep.*
