a parasitic infestation in cattle caused by the larvae of certain flies that burrow under the skin, creating lumps or nodules
What is "warble"?
Warble is a condition in livestock, particularly cattle, caused by the larvae of certain flies, such as the warble fly. The adult flies lay eggs on the animal's skin, and when they hatch, the larvae move into the skin and travel through the body. This causes swelling, irritation, and discomfort, often seen as lumps under the skin. Warble infestations can lead to decreased weight gain, reduced milk production, and damage to the animal's skin. Treatment usually involves giving antiparasitic medications to kill the larvae and prevent further infestations. Regular inspection and treatment of livestock can help manage and prevent warble infestations.
