Feed-Through Fly Control For Horses

Feed-through fly control for horses is one of the most effective ways to keep pesky flies at bay all season long. Unlike topical sprays or fly masks, feed-through fly control works from the inside out. The idea is simple: you add feed-through fly control supplements to your horse’s daily grain or feed. These supplements contain ingredients like diflubenzuron or cyromazine that safely pass through your horse’s digestive system and end up in their manure, which is exactly where flies like to lay their eggs. The special ingredients disrupt the development of fly larvae, stopping them from maturing into biting adult flies. This means fewer flies buzzing around your barn, less tail swishing, and a lot more comfort for your horses. By using feed-through fly control for horses, you’re treating the source of the problem, not just chasing flies away temporarily. Flies don’t get a chance to breed and multiply, so you’ll notice a big drop in fly populations around stalls and paddocks after a few weeks of consistent use. This type of fly control works well alongside other barn management practices like picking up manure regularly and using physical barriers such as screens or traps. For best results, start feed-through fly control early in spring before the first big hatch of flies and continue it through the summer to cover the entire fly season. Tractor Supply offers a range of easy-to-feed supplements so you can pick the right one for your herd—making feed-through fly control one of the simplest and most dependable solutions for keeping your horses happy and healthy all summer long.
