2024 Summer Equine Speaker Series: What’s bugging your horse? Managing insect pests on equine farms

Friday, September 13, 2024
Elissa Ballman, UMaine Senior Research Associate and Ph.D. student
Stable flies, house flies, ticks, and midges are just some of the pests horses encounter on our farms. Not all flies are created equally, or are managed equally. Learn how to identify which pests you are dealing with, when they are active, and integrated pest management tactics you can use to keep your horses happy and healthy. Also, get a sneak peak at the current stable fly research happening in Maine.
UMaine Extension is offering a new Equine Speaker series to share new research, novel management practices, and solutions for common challenges regarding care for our equine companions. The theme for this summer series is "Pasture and System Management for Healthier Horses."
