The pest that can turn a small wound into a serious animal health threat...
As more information emerges about the growing threat of New World screwworm, one message is becoming increasingly clear: early intervention is critical when it comes to cuts and wounds on cattle. Even small, untreated injuries can quickly become entry points for screwworm flies, leading to serious health complications if not addressed promptly.
That’s where Fight Bac can play an important role. While widely recognized as a post-milking teat disinfectant, this fast-acting antibacterial spray is also a practical tool for on-the-spot wound care. It’s safe, easy to apply, and extremely cost-effective (we’re talking pennies per treatment)—making it a convenient option for treating minor injuries before they escalate.
Keeping a can in your toolkit ensures you’re ready to act immediately. In situations like these, timely care isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for protecting animal health and preventing more serious issues down the line.
Fast response today can make a meaningful difference in herd health tomorrow.
USDA has confirmed the sample from a cattle ranch near La Pryor, Texas, is screwworm. A threat the U.S. hasn't faced for more than 60 years, NWS is not a disease or food safety concern for consumers.
