Bot Flies in Equines & Farm Animals
Awareness & Natural Support
What Are Bot Flies?
Bot flies are insects that lay eggs on the coats of horses, cattle, sheep, and other farm animals. When ingested or inhaled, these can develop into larvae — sometimes called bots — that may irritate the digestive tract or, in nasal bots, affect the airways.
Why It Matters
-
Horses may be irritated by bot fly eggs on their coat, especially around the legs or mouth.
-
In some farm animals, nasal bot larvae can cause discomfort in the nostrils or sinuses.
-
Left unchecked, infestations may affect comfort, feeding, and general wellbeing.
Management & Prevention
-
Regular Grooming — Scraping away bot fly eggs from the coat during summer months.
-
Pasture Hygiene — Rotating grazing areas and removing manure to discourage flies.
-
Good Stable Practices — Using fly masks, rugs, or repellents where appropriate.
-
Veterinary Care — Seek professional advice for suspected infestations, particularly if your horse or livestock show signs of irritation, nasal discharge, or digestive discomfort.
Holistic Support
Traditionally, natural herbs and minerals have been associated with:
-
Skin & Coat Care — keeping the coat resilient and less attractive to pests.
-
Digestive Balance — supporting healthy function when challenges arise.
-
Immune Vitality — maintaining the body’s natural defenses against stressors.
