CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING MEASURES AGAINST FLIES OR ANY OTHER INSECT.

Flies, although seemingly harmless, can cause many problems for horses. Some horses are more sensitive to flies than others and can be very bothered. Others may develop allergic symptoms.

This daily discomfort can drastically alter the horse's habits and the distribution of the time it spends on its activities. The duration and timing of outings are modified to limit the presence of insects. Feeding, resting, and traveling are also affected.

This set of changes can become a source of stress and anxiety for the horse and cause changes in its behavior.

In addition to the discomfort and annoyance experienced by the horse, flies can cause conjunctivitis and internal injuries. They are also well known for spreading diseases, such as West Nile fever, feeding on equine blood, and causing potential digestive disorders.
