It is estimated that the prevalence of flystrike is 3-5\% in the national flock (Heath \&amp; Bishop 1995) and is estimated to cost the New Zealand industry $40 to $50 million annually (Beef + Lamb New Zealand 1999). These costs accrue via production losses through reduced wool and body growth, morbidity, and control strategy costs including insecticide, lamb shearing and crutching. ... continued</span></p>
