This sheep has been struck by blowflies, let's get the maggots off it and give it medication. This is a common problem on New Zealand farms that we deal with throughout the year. Let's make this sheep more comfortable by shearing off the maggots and applying a medication treatment.

Flystrike occurs when blowflies lay eggs in warm, moist areas on a sheep and these eggs hatch into maggots, which then invade the living sheep. This can happen in spring, summer or autumn and especially when conditions are humid. Flystrike can be a significant problem for New Zealand sheep farmers. It is estimated that 2-10% of the national flock is affected by flystrike annually and the subsequent economic effects can be measured in the millions of dollars. Farmers in New Zealand spend in excess of $15 million annually on treatments. Here is a video of us giving the sheep a treatment for this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpifirdnr-DZgXk.html

This sheep did not have an injury. Australian Blowflies lay maggots on the backs of perfectly healthy sheep which then begin to bite, causing a wound which then attracts more flies. The product we apply at the end kills remaining maggots (so does exposure to the sun and elements) and deters more flies from attacking the area.

Can the wool covered in maggots (or worse 😲) still be used?

It's only good for compost once it's been infested.

How can you tell the maggots are there with all the wool? Bad smell? What? ‘Just curious.

Just under the wool starts turning brown and discolored. The sheep is often agitated and trying to itch the area and there may be flies hovering around it.

The Australian green blowfly lays live maggots on the sheep that crawl down and start biting the sheep causing a wound. We are farming in New Zealand.

Unfortunately flystrike happens very quickly. In only a couple of days a sheep can go from perfectly healthy to a situation like this. We do our best to treat our flystrike stricken sheep as soon as we spot them.
