چکیده انگلیسی
Blood feeding flies are common pests affecting horses throughout the world. However, little information is available regarding protectant efficacy for reducing fly annoyance behaviors in horses. The objective of this research was to assess the efficacy of five different fly protectants when used on adult horses. Using a Latin square design, six adult horses were individually penned in outdoor drylots for 2Â hours each day for 5 consecutive days over 6Â weeks. Horses received one of six treatments each week: leggings, citronella spray, leg bands, permethrin spray, pyrethrin spray, or a control (no protectant). Each day, horses were observed from 1230 to 1430Â hours immediately after protectant application. Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans L.) on horses' legs and bodies were counted at minutes 0, 30, 60 and 120. Fly annoyance behaviors were counted in four 30Â minutes periods: tail swishes (for 5Â minutes); shoulder twitches (for 5Â minutes); and head-backs and hoof stomps (simultaneously for 20Â minutes) for a total of 2Â hours. Fly annoyance behaviors were reduced by treatment (P < .01). Leggings reduced hoof stomps from 6.6 down to 2.3 stomps per min, leg bands and leggings reduced head-backs from 3.7 down to 2.0 and 1.6 per min, respectively, and citronella spray reduced tail swishes and shoulder twitches from 47 down to 36 per min, and 34 down to 23 per min, respectively. While none of the products eliminated all fly annoyance behaviors, leggings, leg bands, and citronella spray provided better benefits than the other sprays.
