Flies are not only a nuisance, but they are also vectors of bacteria and disease. Flies, often dismissed as mere nuisances, pose a far more significant threat than meets the eye. Not only are they an irritant, but they also act as vectors for bacteria and diseases. Nowhere is this threat more apparent than on dairy farms.

Flies can significantly disrupt operations and, more critically, impact cow health. In this recording, we shed light on the critical issue of fly management in dairy farming.

For this reason, managing flies on dairy farms is crucial because of the impact on dairy operations by interfering with cow health.
