I have a Question ? I attended the NW Horse Affair a week ago. A Vet Clinic
out of Aurora,Or. (Willamette Valley Equine Surcial and Medical Clinic was
handing out free stuff and promotions. One of the fliers they had in their
packet was Promoting Solitude. Solitude being a cyromazine (IGR) an insect
growth regulator. You top dress it every day like supplements. It prevents
flies from becoming adults. It is not an organphosphate and the flyer says
it has been successfully and safely used in horses since 2001. It also says
once excreted it breaks down to a melamine monomer, a slow release nitrogen
fertilizer. Has anyone used this product? How do ride vets feel about this?
Do you think it's safe for horses, dogs and birds or whatever animal
that might rumage through the road apples?
Thank you for your
time Lianne
Were there any answers to these questions? Lianne, if you
got private word would you share with me? I am considering this myself as I have
one horse terribly allergic to fly spray. I also wondered if it is okay to be
using before and during rides (just in case I actually get to do some!)
