🐄🧄 Help Protect Your Herd Naturally with Garlic Supplements! 🧄🐄
With concerns about flies, ticks, and screwworms, many cattle producers are turning to garlic supplements as part of their herd management program.
When fed regularly, garlic's natural sulfur compounds are released through the animal's skin and breath, which may help make cattle less attractive to flies and ticks.
✅ May help reduce tick pressure on cattle
✅ May help repel nuisance flies, including those that can contribute to screwworm risk
✅ Supports overall herd comfort during fly and tick season
✅ Easy to incorporate through minerals, feed, or supplements
Why does this matter?
🐜 Ticks can stress cattle and may transmit diseases. Reducing tick pressure can help improve herd comfort and reduce exposure to tick-borne illnesses.
🪰 Screwworms begin when certain flies lay eggs in open wounds. By helping reduce fly activity around cattle, garlic supplements may help lower the risk of flies bothering animals and contributing to conditions that can lead to screwworm infestations. Garlic is not a treatment for screwworms, but it can be a valuable part of an overall prevention strategy.
Garlic supplements work best when combined with good herd management, wound monitoring, and other fly and parasite control measures.
