🐑 Reduce the Risk of Fly Strike on Your Farm 🐑

Fly strike is a serious welfare and economic issue—but with the right management, it can be prevented. Here’s a complete checklist to help protect your flock:

✔️ Dagging (crutching) to remove dirty wool around the tail and breech
✔️ Worm control to reduce scour
✔️ Use of fly traps to lower the overall fly population on farm
✔️ Prompt treatment of lameness (including footrot) and any wounds
✔️ Regular inspection of sheep, especially in warm, humid weather
✔️ Prompt removal of fallen stock to prevent fly breeding
✔️ Avoid grazing sheltered or shaded areas where flies thrive
✔️ Monitor high-risk animals (lambs, dirty or wounded sheep) more closely

💡 Peak risk occurs during warm, wet weather—stay vigilant and act early.

Prevention is always better than cure. Protect your flock and stay one step ahead of fly strike.
