Develop a multi-pronged fly control approach to fit your operation. Use a feed-through option like Purina Wind and Rain Fly Control Mineral in tandem with other fly control methods for season-long protection. Taking this type of approach can ensure fewer flies are biting into your profit while leading to better milk production and heavier weaning weights.

Purina Wind and Rain Fly Control Mineral contains an insect growth regulator (IGR). A feed-through mineral like Wind and Rain Fly Control is an excellent option for all classes of cattle out on pasture.

“As cattle consume the mineral with IGR, it passes through the animal and into fresh manure, where female adult horn flies lay their eggs,” says Elizabeth Belew, Ph.D., cattle nutritionist with Purina Animal Nutrition. “The IGR prevents pupae from developing into biting adult flies.”

For best results, feed 30 days before the last frost of spring through 30 days after the first frost in the fall.
