For about 20 to 60 cents per head, a producer can treat his cattle with systeMic insecticides, effectively controlling the loss due to warbles. Systernics break the life cycle of the fly in its larval or grub stage. In addition, these insecticides provide residual control of lice. , Systemic insecticides are 1110 315 Combine Hydrostatic with 2 heads 1110 403 Combine Hydrostatic with corn head Case 600 Combine with 2 heads IHC 93 Combine, real good 1110 16 Forage Harvester, 2 heads IHC 350 Forage Harvester, 2 heads New Holland 27 Blower Gehl Blower Get wheat insurance with higher options The presence of a large number of warble grubs in cattle causes a dollar-loss that is greater than most producers realize, reports R.E. 1VIcCartney, a livestock specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Updated calculations, based on a survey by the Meat Facicers' Council, show that losses in Ontario range from $12 to $2$ per head, depending on the number of grubs present. The northern warble fly buzzes around cattle, continually dar- ting into andunder them to lay its eggs. This frightens cattle and • causes them to run wildly or "gad". Gadding can result in physical injury, weight loss, decreased milk production, and may reduce beef gains by 50 to 75 pounds per head. In addition to these on-farm losses, the lower carcass value of "grubby" slaughter cattle is borne by the producer. As a result of warble in- festations, losses in slaughter cattle fall into three categories: carcass weight reduced due to available as dilute sprays, dusts, and pour-on types. Following manufacturer's directions helps ensure safe and suceessful treatment. For most effective control, start treating cattle in early fall. Generally, cattle should not be treated during December, January, or February because of possible side effects, Use of a systemic in the warble control program on your farm will pay for itself many times over.
