After the bolus is orally administered, it settles into the cow’s rumen where it will dissolve over time, releasing the active ingredient, (S)-methoprene, consistently for up to 195 days. This ensures that cows receive consistent, season-long horn fly control. The active ingredient is then passed through to the cow’s manure where horn flies lay eggs. By disrupting the horn fly life cycle, it effectively prevents the development of pupae into biting adult flies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy employing proper horn fly control, such as Altosid\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIGR XRB treatment program, producers can protect their cattle’s health and productivity for both present and future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-column col-column-30\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"accent\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreaks the horn fly cycle with the active ingredient (S)-Methoprene\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduces a strong ROI with weight gains up to 15% higher vs. untreated cattle*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo impact on beneficial insects and non-target species\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffers customers more flexibility when it comes to horn fly control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvides reductions in horn flies which cause heifer mastitis and blind quarters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cargill","offers":[{"title":"Box - 25 Boluses","offer_id":48073738158315,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4104\/5739\/files\/product-media-358585.png?v=1775891147","url":"https:\/\/countryoaksfarmsupply.com\/products\/cargill-altosid-bolus","provider":"Country Oaks Town-N-Country","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
