Ticks arenโt just a nuisanceโtheyโre a serious threat to your animalsโ health and productivity. A single adult female tick can lay up to 3,000 eggs, and those tiny larvae can survive for months without feeding! ๐ณ
Hereโs how to keep your herd protected:
โ
1. Quarantine New Animals:
Always de-tick any newly purchased livestock before mixing them with your existing animals.
โ
2. Routine Acaricide Use:
Apply acaricide regularly and at the correct concentration. Donโt just spray the animalโalso target their environment.
โ
3. Disrupt Tick Life Cycle:
Spray all cracks, crevices, and bedding areas in the cattle shed with a stronger mix of acaricide.
๐ฅ If available, use a flame gun to burn out hidden tick habitats (with caution).
โ
4. Rotate Acaricide Groups:
To avoid resistance, change your acaricide type now and thenโticks adapt fast!
โ
5. Ask the Experts:
Always consult your vet to choose the right product and dosage for your animals and climate.
โ ๏ธ Remember: Tick control is not a one-time job. Itโs an ongoing battle that protects your animals from tick-borne diseases, weight loss, milk drop, and stress.
