Um Fliegen zu vermeiden im Stall und am Pferd
Pfizer Gets License to Horse Fly Control
04.08.2005, 03:21 PM
Drug maker Pfizer Inc. has obtained a license to a product that, when included in a horse's food, can dramatically reduce the number of flies buzzing around stalls and stables.
Piedmont Pharmaceuticals Co. announced the deal Friday. Its Triad Specialty Products unit licensed the food additive to Pfizer's animal health division, which will market it under the name Solitude IGR. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the additive early last year. Triad now sells it under the brand name Serene.
It works by passing through to the horse's manure, where flies lay their eggs. The product targets immature eggs and takes about 5 to 6 weeks, the average life span of a fly, to show results. Triad's Web site says that a single horse's manure can yield 27,000 flies each day.
Common house flies transmit roundworms and pinkeye to horses, Piedmont said, while stable flies can transmit African horse sickness, swamp fever and anthrax to horses and transmit tuberculosis, myiasis, relapsing fever, anthrax, amoebic dysentery and leprosy to humans.
The product is nontoxic to horses, other mammals and beneficial insects, the company said.
