Flies can be a real plague for livestock. They contaminate their feed and transmit numerous pathogens such as staphylococci, coliform germs, yeasts, viruses and worm eggs. In addition to the increased health risk, flies also cause persistent stress in cattle, which can lead to reduced milk and fattening yields - and, therefore, to economic disadvantages for the farmer.

High germ content in the environment negatively affects the animal’s immune system. The organism is busy producing antibodies and eliminating germs instead of producing milk, growth or reproductive hormones. If the pressure is too high, in addition to output losses, this causes the animals to fall ill.
Cows or dairy cows in a meadow – it makes for a pretty advertising picture. But to make a good start there are certain things that must be done so as not to put the animals’ welfare at risk. Others may ask if it’s even worth it in the first place.
