Many animals suffer
serious injury every year
from falling on slippery
concrete floors. Floors which
are continually scraped,
such as free -stall alleys in
dairy barns, tend to become
slippery very quickly.
Sometimes the problem is
caused during construction
by trowelling the concrete
too smoothly.
Various methods have
been used to alleviate this
problem:
1. Muriatic acid, one to two
parts acid to ten parts water,
brushed over the surface and
allowed to stand until the
fizzing stops (several hours)
works reasonably well. The
surface then has to be
flushed with clean water. .
2. A concrete saw can be
used to cut grooves in the
concrete on a diagonal. This
method does not last too
long, i.e . the grooves fill
with manure.
3. The floor can be "scab -
bled". A scabbier is a lawn
mower -like tool using
compression -driven ham-
mers to pound the concrete
leaving a rough , grooved
surface. This tool seems to
do a very good and lasting
job at a reasonable cost. The
scabbier can be rented for
approximately $100 - $150 a
day, including compressor.
This should allow you enough
time to complete an average
sized dairy barn.
By Stan Paquette,
Associate Agricultural
Representative
Have you used louse
control? If you haven't
already done so, now is the
time to consider it.
A systemic warble product
should control sucking lice
for a short period. If eggs
were present at time of
treatment, the louse cycle is
not broken. Remember,
warble control should have
been done prior to December
1st. Check now for lice.
There are two types of lice
found in Ontario: Biting lice
which feed on skin debris
and sucking lice which suck
blood from the animal.
Biting lice are found more
on local cattle. Sucking lice
are common on cattle
shipped from Western
Canada. Biting lice are
reddish -brown to creamy -
white in colour. Sucking lice
are bluish.
Inspect for lice every two
weeks from mid-December
to March. Look for lice by
parting the hair over the tail
head, along the back bet-
ween the shoulders and
around the neck and ears.
A serious infestation of
sucking lice can cause
anemia. Lice also cause
stress and poor per-
formance.
For control. use a
recommended dust or spray.
Products available from
your local farm supply
centre such as LINDANE,
CO—RAL, SEVIN, FEN-
THION AND MALATHION
will give excellent control.
Follow directions carefully.

Ministry of Agriculture and
Food Fact Sheet420 653 FLY

at O.M.A.F. offices on
request.
