MAGGOTS! Let's save this sheep! - Slow-mo maggot removal

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

    Flystrike can be a significant problem for New Zealand sheep farmers. It is estimated that 2-10% of the national flock is affected by flystrike annually and the subsequent economic effects can be measured in the millions of dollars. Farmers in New Zealand spend in excess of $15 million annually on treatments.

    Flystrike occurs when blowflies lay eggs in warm, moist areas on a sheep and these eggs hatch into maggots, which then invade the living sheep. This can happen in spring, summer or autumn and especially when conditions are humid. Flystrike can be a significant problem for New Zealand sheep farmers. It is estimated that 2-10% of the national flock is affected by flystrike annually and the subsequent economic effects can be measured in the millions of dollars. Farmers in New Zealand spend in excess of $15 million annually on treatments. Here is a video of us giving the sheep a treatment for this. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmajubZvet3bgag.html

    I never ever knew this was something that could happen. If I saw this on one of mine I would do the exact same thing you are. I can't even imagine how she felt. I am notorious for being a thural like yourself. Knowing me I would be using my giant tweezers looking at every nook and cranny... very time consuming so I'm happy they have medicine.

    I'm a dog groomer and last weekend had a New Finland come in for boarding and noticed a smell looked into poor baby's ears and OMG the maggots, I looked more and started shaving his ears and neck, I couldn't believe the amount of maggots, i swear probably 100,000.. I got a lice comb and was just scooping them off for about 2 hours after shaving him with 15 blade. I honestly couldn't even believe what happened next but owners took him home instead of vet, and jump on plane and went on vacation, dog died the next day. Broke my heart especially when we have dogs female partner with us now. Their both sweet gentle gaints, I been giving her extra love and care especially now cuz she knows something not right. I understand animals especially farm animals get infections and sick but to let one suffer with high fever infection and maggots like that is wrong in my book. Sorry for the rant, it just bothers me when owners of any kind of animal are neglectful. I keep thinking could I have done something differently but I know I did my best and hopefully made him comfortable in his last hours.

    There must have been a wound there that attracted the maggots. I'm pretty sure maggots only eat rotting flesh. They even use them medically to treat large wounds.

    Actually this breed of fly will lay eggs on a healthy sheep. When maggots eat living tissue it is called obligate myiasis. The adult Australian blowfly is very aggressive in its laying of eggs on the backs of sheep. The maggots start biting and form a wound which attracts even more flies.

    Flystrike happens quickly. A sheep can get into this condition in only a few days. This can happen in spring, summer or autumn and especially when conditions are humid. Flystrike can be a significant problem for New Zealand sheep farmers. It is estimated that 2-10% of the national flock is affected by flystrike annually and the subsequent economic effects can be measured in the millions of dollars. Farmers in New Zealand spend in excess of $15 million annually on treatments.

    @@leepearson7868 I'm no entomologist but I do know that the life cycle of a maggot is extremely short so while it may not have happened overnight, it happened extremely fast. A maggot is in the intermediary stages of it's lifecycle. Even someone like me who is a merchant marine knows that. I'm certainly not going to criticize a sheep farmer when I don't know his business. If he's out there working his herd, I'm pretty sure he knows far more about it than I do; particularly if he's posting it to show it to us.

    For those who wonder how injuries happen to livestock and not noticed right away the answers simple, many are in large pastures and eat grass and some grain at certain times,so the farmer may not see them every day,but at feeding time they look at the livestock for anything unusual and if found the animal is caught and treated, dairy cow are seen and milked every day so their injuries, illness are caught and treated alot sooner then beef cattle, hope this helps

    The wool shorn from the flystrike area is spoiled, and is unable to be used. However the rest of the fleece and the wool that regrows after healing is fine, there is usually not long term damage to the area (however in severe cases wool production in the affected area may be reduced).
