During the spring is the time of year when flies begin to reemerge and start to pester our horses.  In this podcast we first provide an overview of the types of flies that bother our horses. Flies are also a concern because they can even harm our horses through the spread of disease. From a nutritional point of view, flies can lead to loss of body condition. Horses can and often do suffer stress from flies by either the fly pestering them through it's constant buzzing, feeding off the horse's secretions like around the eyes, and even from biting them. All in all, flies are a major nuisance to horses and horse owners alike. Thus, in this episode we focus much of our discussion on fly control. With all the tools available to horse owners, one newer area are the introduction of fly feed through products. We describe what exactly these are and how they work.
