Champion USA announced today the availability of new JustiFLY® Feedthrough in a convenient add-pack for use with free choice minerals to control all four major species of flies affecting cattle. JustiFLY Feedthrough is available in an economically priced 4-lb. bag that treats 5 X 50-lb. bags of free choice mineral. JustiFLY Feedthrough is available in the 4-lb. bags through several animal health product suppliers including all Durvet members, Nutra Blend and International Nutrition.
JustiFLY Feedthrough a non-toxic insect growth regulator (IGR) is the first feedthrough larvicide available for use on-farm that effectively treats all four fly species horn fly, face fly, stable fly and housefly. "Beef and dairy producers usually fight more than just horn flies," says Steve McKinley, D.V.M, Ph.D, AgLand Consulting, "however, current methoprene-based products only control horn flies while disease-carrying and nuisance flies continue to impact production and employees. This new pasture-approved IGR controls all four flies and is EPA-approved for use in lactating dairy cows and calves and has no milk disposal issues or withdrawal period."New JustiFLY Feedthrough add-pack is priced to allow beef and dairy producers cost-effective fly control by stopping the larvae from developing once in contact with treated manure. "The new add-pack allows producers full-season fly control while utilizing their own specific mineral choice. There's no longer a need to change minerals to economically include fly control. This is something producers have been asking for a long time," Dr. McKinley adds.
Based on a mineral consumption rate of 2-3 ounces/head/day, one 360-gram scoop of JustiFLY Feedthrough provides approximately 200 cow days (1,200 lbs. each) of fly control. "We see this product as a perfect fit where producers are raising cattle/calves close to buildings where nuisance flies are a problem," Dr. McKinley says. "It is also ideal for pastures where knocking down fly populations is critical to animal comfort, performance and nuisance fly complaints."
