Abstract

Extract

Madam:— Docking fluids are designed to disinfect docking wounds and, in two products on the New Zealand market (FIL Shear Dock® and SS Docking Fluid®), to provide some protection against ovine myiasis (flystrike). A recent increase in the prevalence of flystrike, especially in lambs where it commonly occurs on the posterior (Heath and Bishop, unpublished), prompted us to evaluate the protection given by docking fluids containing an organosphosphate insecticide.
