BETTER SERVICE, BETTER RESULTS

External parasites are particularly problematic in the warmer months. High temperatures and humidity create ideal conditions for buffalo fly, ticks, and lice. During this time, livestock can experience heavy infestations that cause irritation, stress, reduced feed intake, and lost productivity. Managing parasites proactively in summer is critical to protecting animal welfare and maintaining growth, milk production, and overall herd performance. MLA estimates external parasites cost the Australian cattle industry $359 million/year, with buffalo fly alone causing over $110 million in losses and $60 million in prevention costs annually. While traditional control often relies on chemical treatments, there is growing interest in natural, feed-based solutions. One option gaining traction is garlic (Allium sativum), and at Nutramix we proudly partner with Feedworks Australia to use FeedBuds Garlic, a scientifically backed natural additive.
