 Save the Sheep! > Report
It is performed as a preventive measure against a painful condition called “flystrike,” which occurs when the eggs of blowflies laid in woolly areas of sheep’s skin hatch into maggots, leading to infestation and, eventually, death by ammonia poisoning.
Blowflies are especially prone to laying their eggs in the breech area of merino sheep because the many folds of skin that characterize this breed tend to accumulate moisture, feces, and urine, especially when covered with wool.
Leathwick and Heath (2001) found that diet could also play a role in flystrike prevalence and that lambs who grazed on forage consisting of birdsfoot trefoil were less likely to suffer from flystrike than lambs who grazed on ryegrass and white clover.

 Flystrike   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Flystrike - myiasis - occurs when flies lay their eggs on another animal, be it sheep or rabbit.
In the worst cases, there may be severe tissue loss where maggots have literally eaten the rabbit alive: sometimes maggots eat down to the bone in the hind legs or even into the abdomen.
Far and away the most common part of the body to be affected by flystrike is the bottom, but it can occur on other parts of the body.

Flystrike is a common, extremely distressing and often fatal disease, which affects rabbits most commonly during the warm summer months.
Flystrike is easily prevented with good housing, husbandry and hygiene.
In addition to these general care and hygiene measures further insurance against flystrike may be provided by the use of Xenex.

Flystrike in domestic rabbits is sadly all too common a problem throughout the summer months, and with this year’s early spring, the problem is set to go on for an even longer time than usual.
Not only is flystrike, or ‘myiasis’, extremely distressing for all concerned, but it is also potentially fatal.
Flystrike is a distressing and potentially fatal condition which can be prevented by a few simple measures.

 Flystrike : CavyRescue
Flystrike is a horrible illness that can cause terrible pain and distress to an animal and can even lead to death.
Flystrike happens when adult flies lay their eggs in faeces-soiled fur around a rabbit's or guinea pig’s bottom.
While flystrike most commonly occurs in rabbits and guinea pigs, debilitated cats and dogs who are unable to groom themselves properly, can be affected too.

Flystrike was positively correlated with dags although this was less obvious over time-period 1 when the incidence of flystrike was low.
The incidence of flystrike differed significantly between treatment groups ((2 P<0.001), ranging from 36% of lambs struck in the all ryegrass/white clover groups to 7% in the all lotus groups.
These results confirm the potential of lotus as a tool in the management of dags and flystrike but indicate that lambs will need to be grazed on lotus for 7 or more days each fortnight in order to realise significant benefits.

 Flystrike in rabbits
Their bottoms will be moist and the skin will often be easily separated from the flesh underneath, where the maggots have eaten under the skin attachment.
Although some rabbits can be treated very successfully in the early stages of ‘Flystrike’, once the severe muscle damage and skin trauma has been done it is more difficult to ensure that your rabbit will recover and it may be kinder to end their suffering.
All rabbits are at risk of flystrike but obviously since flies are more prevalent during the hot Summer and Autumn months so there is a considerably higher risk at that time of year.

Lambs were examined for flystrike three times each week and samples were collected for fly identification before strikes were treated with insecticide.
Lambs which grazed lotus suffered less flystrike than those grazed on ryegrass in both trials (32% of 51%; P<0.01 and 1.5% cf 7.4%; P<0.05 for trials 1 and 2 respectively).
Mean dry weight of dags was reduced by grazing lotus rather than ryegrass (79g cf 108g; P<0.01 in trial 1 and 9.7g cf 14.3g; NS in trial 2) and by drenching (68g cf 118g; P<0.01 in trial 1 and 8.8g cf 15.2g; NS in trial 2).

Dogs and cats, or even other outdoor pets such as rabbits, are in danger of developing a condition called Flystrike.

 Woolisbest.com - Mulesing
Without mulesing, blowfly eggs are laid in moist wool; the flesh eating maggots create painful wounds, causing the sheep considerable pain, stress and suffering and, in many cases, death.
Scientific studies clearly show that mulesing and tail docking are currently the most practical, effective and humane methods of flystrike prevention available to Australian woolgrowers.
Documented studies have shown that this procedure does not cause long-term distress to the animals and infection is a rare occurrence after the procedure.

 Management, not mulesing the answer - Ingris E Newkirk replies to further criticsim
On a recent trip to Australia, I had to point out to one of the proponents of mulesing that the sheep he was showing me - a sheep who had died of untreated flystrike - was a mulesed sheep.
While in Australia, I made a point to talk to farmers, veterinarians, and others who know all about flystrike damage and to learn from researchers who have developed sheep with smooth skin who do not attract blowflies as Merinos do.
I have also recommended that farmers turn away from the "Frankensheep" who are greedily bred for extra folds of skin that allow waste to collect under the tail and attract blowflies.

Australia is home to a nasty species of fly (the blowfly) that reproduces by laying eggs in wet wool, particularly around wounds or in healthy but damp areas soiled by feces and urine.
When PETA mentions flystrike at all, it claims that mulesing isn't necessary to prevent it.
This propaganda tactic is par for PETA's course, according to David Martosko, director of research at the Center for Consumer Freedom, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to combating the threat of animal rights/liberation to the food and clothing industries.

 Australian Wool Innovation Limited - BTB - Issue 3 Smelling a flystrike solution
The effect of this was to put AWI on the trail of better ways to counter flystrike, one of the great problems for wool producers.
While the project is in its infancy, if the AWI-funded group can ultimately understand what factors contribute to this flystrike resistance, it may greatly assist the sheep industry, saving producers thousands of dollars and eliminating concerns about treatment residues in wool.
Treatment costs and production losses from flystrike cost the Australian wool industry more than $160 million each year in lost production, as well as losses caused from degraded wool and the distress to affected sheep.

Scobie of AgResearch (2004) observes that “[w]ool quality tends to suffer on wrinkly sheep” and, citing the findings of other scientists, further reports, “Australian research has shown that mulesed wrinkly sheep were just as likely to be flystruck as plain-bodied sheep that were not mulesed.” Scobie et al.
Tellam and Bowles (1996) write that “[o]ne of the mainstays of the wool industry for control of blowfly strike is the use of insecticides[,]” which can be “used in dressings applied to flystruck areas on sheep” (p 263).
And Tellam and Bowles (1996) explain that shearing and crutching (“the removal of dags and urine-stained wool from around the breech area”), especially when synchronized with the worst periods of fly activity, decrease “the likelihood of fly strike” by “reducing the attractiveness of this region to the gravid female blowfly” (pp 262-263).

 NZPPS Blowfly and Flystrike Resistance Strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Flystrike (ovine myiasis) is a disease caused in New Zealand by four species of blowflies (Calliphoridae) either individually or in concert (Heath and Bishop 1995).
Sheep affected with flystrike can suffer a variety of symptoms ranging from weight loss to death, with survivors losing wool and pelt quality as well (Heath 1994).
The principal means of preventing flystrike has always been dipping, which is saturating the entire sheep's fleece, or body regions most prone to flystrike, in an insecticidal formulation which persists for long enough to provide the farmer with a worry-free period during times of the most blowfly activity.
