The Cattle Botfly, scientifically known as Hypoderma, is a type of fly that primarily affects cattle. The adult flies lay their eggs on the skin of the host animal, and the larvae burrow into the flesh, causing discomfort and potential health issues. This can lead to reduced weight gain and lower milk production in affected cattle. Cattle botflies are most commonly found in temperate regions and are a significant concern for livestock farmers. Control measures often include the use of insecticides and proper management practices to reduce the risk of infestation. Effective management is essential to maintain the health and productivity of cattle herds.
