Industry Alert: Herd Biosecurity Starts at the Chute. 🛡️
Protect your livestock and your operation by following this 3-step protocol:
1 INSPECT: Check for open wounds and treat every injury immediately—even small tick bites, navels, castration, or dehorning sites. Apply topical wound powder to eliminate fly targets.
2 DETECT: Monitor deep tissue cavities during handling. If you find fly larvae feeding within a wound, isolate the animal immediately.
3 REPORT: Do not wait. If a screwworm infestation is suspected, notify the USDA APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) or your State Veterinarian right away.
