Protect Your Herd From New World Screwworms. We just restocked all of our screwworm prevention products here at Odiorne Feed, and the timing could not be better.
If you have not heard, the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed a case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in a cow in Zavala County, Texas. This pest is a serious threat. It can harm your livestock, pets, and local wildlife, and in rare cases, even people. USDA and Texas officials are working hard to contain and eradicate it, and we want to help you protect your animals too.
