As horse owners, we know that flies can be a persistent nuisance, causing discomfort and potential health issues for our equine companions. One effective solution to this problem is feed-thru fly control, such as Essential K with Fly Control from Tribute Feeds. This innovative approach offers several benefits that can make a significant difference in your horse's well-being.
How Feed-Thru Fly Control Works
Feed-thru fly control products contain insect growth regulators (IGRs) that pass through the horse's digestive system and are excreted in the manure. These IGRs disrupt the fly life cycle by preventing larvae from developing into adult flies, thereby reducing the overall fly population around your stables and pastures.
Benefits of Feed-Thru Fly Control
Convenience: Simply add the recommended dosage to your horse's daily feed. No need for messy sprays or wipes.
Long-Lasting Protection: A single dose can provide fly control for up to a month, ensuring continuous protection.
Reduced Pesticide Exposure: Compared to topical fly sprays, feed-thru control minimizes direct contact with insecticides for both horses and handlers.
Effective Control of Developing Flies: By targeting the larval stage, feed-thru control prevents future generations of flies from emerging.
When and How to Feed Essential K with Fly Control
To achieve the best results, start feeding Essential K with Fly Control two weeks to one month before the start of fly season. This timing ensures that the product is in the horse's system before flies begin to emerge and reproduce.
Feeding Instructions:
Dosage: Follow the recommended feeding rate based on your horse's weight. For example, a 1,000 lb horse needs approximately 1.0 lb of Essential K with Fly Control per day.
Administration: Mix or top-dress the product with your horse's regular feed. Ensure that all horses on the property receive the product to maximize its effectiveness.
By incorporating feed-thru fly control into your horse's diet, you can provide a more comfortable and healthier environment for your equine friends. Essential K with Fly Control from Tribute Feeds is a reliable and convenient option to keep those pesky flies at bay.
