[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6924389, member: 461"] I use a 50:50 mix of Crovect and Battle's maggot oil. It is sprayed onto the strucken area, and a pair of shears used to ruffle the wool to work it in. The area around it is carefully inspected and any nest of newly hatching maggots are treated in the same way. Leaving the wool intact allows the affected area to heal, and protects any broken skin. Wool is a great healing agent - for example, a sheep with headfly damage can be treated with a layer of wool held under a headcap. But thankfully, the use of ivermectin in cattle has much reduced the incidence of headfly in sheep on the same farm. Do you know why? [/QUOTE]
