necessary trimming, devaluation
Of the carcass due to trimming,
and devaluation of the hide due to
warble grlab damage.
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. ,

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.
