Influence of Monensin and Diflubenzuron on the Control of Immature Horn Fly and House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) and Chemical Composition of Cattle Feces.

Twelve Angus × Hereford crossbred heifers were used in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of monensin and diflubenzuron feed additives on horn fly (Haematobia irritans) (L.) and house fly (Musca domestica) (L.) immature development.

The Effect of Horn Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Infestation on Behavior, Water, and Feed Intake, and Digestion Characteristics of Beef Cattle.

Seven mature Angus × Hereford crossbreed cows (544 ± 23.2 kg of body weight) fitted with duodenal and ruminal cannulas were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effects of horn fly (Haematobia irritans) (L.) infestation on horn fly-induced defensive behaviors, feed and water intake, as well as digestion characteristics of beef cows.
