Horn Fly Control - Feed-Through
The feed-through difference.
Unlike many insecticides, feed-through products are a touch-free, stress-free way to control horn flies. Feed-throughs pass through cattle into manure, where horn flies lay their eggs. The result? Horn fly pupae are prevented from developing into breeding, biting adult flies - and future infestations.
The feed-through benefits.
Less stress on your herd.
Since Altosid® IGR Feed-Thru is administered in your herd's feed, cattle don't need to be handled to be treated, as they do with sprays, pour-ons, dusts and ear tags.
More effective than insecticides.
Rubbing stations and dust bags must be frequently serviced to ensure that the insecticide is present and that these self-application devices are working properly. Dusts and sprays remain effective only with periodic retreatment. Since ear tags used a single chemical family, pyrethroids, horn flies soon became resistant to this method of control.
More convenient, too.
When your herd takes its feed, it's being treated with Altosid® IGR
Feed-Thru. No stress-inducing applications to your herd - and no time-consuming extra steps for you.
More control for less cost.
With Altosid® IGR Feed-Thru, you can control horn flies for as little as three to five cents per head, per day. To learn how much value this innovative feed-through can provide to your operation, start here.
