Research abstract
Insects, ticks and mites cost US livestock producers in excess of $3 billion annually. Existing treatments, based on pyrethroids and organophosphates, have only weak repellent activity, permitting the annoyance of landing insects. Furthermore, the toxic effects of these compounds to flies has diminished due to tolerance. We will develop a natural insect repellent for livestock to curb insect-related losses in the dairy cattle, range cattle, confined beef cattle and swine industries and will improve animal care for horses and other companion animals. We will optimize formulations of low-cost, naturally- occuring, environmentally benign actives having high intrinsic repellent activity against flies.
