Fly Control

A field study was conducted on 60 cooperating dairy farms in Southwestern Ontario to determine the effect of fenvalerate-impregnated (8% wt/wt) eartags (Bovaid (Registered trademark CIBA-GEIGY Canada Ltd.)) on fly control and milk production. Herds were assigned to either a tagged or control treatment. Fly counts were made on 15 randomly selected cows in each herd at approximately 2-wk intervals from July to September. Producers of control herds in this study conducted normal management practices including, in most cases, conventional fly control methods. Therefore, the comparison in this study is between the fenvalerate-impregnated tag and more conventional means of fly control. Milk production data were obtained from DHIC and Ontario Milk Marketing Board records. The use of the Bovaid tag resulted in complete control of horn flies (Haematobia irritans) and a 75% reduction in face flies (Musca autumnalis) over the test period. Milk production was not significantly affected by treatment although a 2–3% improvement was observed in treated animals. A milk production effect of 7% would be required for statistical significance (P < 0.05). Key words: Fenvalerate, ear tags, fly control, milk production

Scientific Life

Dr Glover is a zoologist who has devoted the greater part of his scientific life to work on tsetse problems throughout Africa. He has been particularly concerned with the study and application of fly-control methods in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda and his knowledge of the tsetse situation in these parts is probably unrivalled. This scholarly, well-balanced review, presented at the First International Congress of Parasitology held in Rome in 1964, and now published by the FPS for IUCN, is the work of a scientist of wide experience, and fairly presents all the known facts. It leads one to the inevitable conclusion that there is no valid justification for using game-destruction as a practical or lasting means of tsetse control.
