CONTROL AND REPEL THIS SUMMER WITH GARLIC
Cattle performance and profitability can be negatively affected by the presence of flies. Some of the issues related to flies include:
- Increased mastitis levels in herd
- Increased pinkeye and other diseases within the herd transmitted by flies
- Reduced growth rates
Feeding buckets containing garlic help repel biting insects from irritating stock.
Topstock’s Buzz Off Precalver combines a precalving mineral pack with high levels of garlic extract, which all types of cattle can use. However, it will focus on heifers and precalvers who are the most at risk. The garlic extract contains concentrated levels of garlic components, which acts to repel flies.
The extract is registered in the EU as a natural insect repellent and is approved as an animal feed ingredient. The extract is used in combination with pure garlic, giving extra control.
