New product could help limit Schmallenberg risk

A new organic water-based anti-biting agent could reduce midges biting sheep and limit the spread of the Schmallenberg virus.


Neem Pro Riddance from Agropharm is a health maintenance insect control product based on neem oil, an insect-active material derived from the neem tree, indigenous to southern Asia. The product is available as a concentrate for dilution or a convenient RTU for immediate use.


The product is suitable for use on organic livestock and is available through Cox Agri.
