Other farmers share their experiences of using the Elanco blowfly portfolio to protect their flocks against blowfly strike.
Matt, West Sussex
“The blowfly season is getting later, going all the way through to mid-October on occasion, much later than it was twenty years ago… Prevention is absolutely the best strategy. Every sheep struck loses four to five days of grazing production.”
Peregrine, South Devon
“Implementing preventative treatment is so important – we use CLiK™EXTRA as it gives the extended coverage we need – as ultimately, you’re saving yourself time and money. It makes no sense leaving it to chance.”
Martyn, Wiltshire
“One of the biggest impacts on daily live weight gain (DLWG) is blowfly and once sheep are on the back foot they’re more susceptible to other parasites too. Blowfly prevention is a key part of our flock health plan”
Henry, Gloucestershire
“Blowfly strike is one of the most devastating things that can happen to your sheep… If you delay or don’t take the appropriate preventative measures, strike can be detrimental to the flock.”
