Important aspects of insect protection for horses
Why Is Insect Protection for Horses So Important?
Insects can be more than just a nuisance for horses—they can cause serious health problems:
Flies
Biting flies can cause painful bites, leading to infections and allergic reactions. They are particularly aggressive and often disturb horses during feeding or resting.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes not only cause irritating bites but can also transmit diseases such as West Nile Virus and equine encephalitis. Their bites often lead to itchy, inflamed skin.
Ticks
Ticks are notorious for transmitting diseases like Lyme disease, which poses a significant threat to horses in natural environments.
