    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Controlled-release pesticide ear tags effectively controlled flies and prevented infectious keratoconjunctivitis in cattle. Two ear tags provided over 90% fly control, significantly reducing disease incidence.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Entomology
    • Animal Health
    • Pest Management

    Background:

    • Infectious keratoconjunctivitis in cattle is often linked to fly activity.
    • Effective fly control is crucial for preventing disease transmission in livestock.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of controlled-release pesticide ear tags for fly control.
    • To assess the impact of ear tags on infectious keratoconjunctivitis in cattle.

    Main Methods:

    • Field trials conducted from 1980-1984 in Sussex, England.
    • Use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ear tags impregnated with cypermethrin, fenvalerate, or flucythrinate.
    • Comparison between herds using two ear tags, one ear tag, and untreated herds.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Two ear tags achieved over 90% fly control compared to untreated herds.
    • Single ear tags provided unsatisfactory fly control.
    • Infectious keratoconjunctivitis was nearly eliminated in herds using two ear tags.

    Conclusions:

    • Controlled-release pesticide ear tags are a highly effective method for managing fly populations in cattle.
    • Two ear tags per animal are necessary for optimal control and disease prevention.
    • This technique offers a viable solution for farms experiencing recurrent infectious keratoconjunctivitis.
