Company expands availability of FIFRA 2(ee) recommendations to counter threat

LANSING, Mich. -- (Business Wire)

Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG), an innovative leader in food and animal safety solutions, today announced the expanded availability of FIFRA* Section 2(ee) recommendations for the use of Prozap® Insectrin X Concentrate and Prozap® Screw Worm and Ear Tick Aerosol as part of New World Screwworm (NWS) response efforts. These recommendations provide ranchers, livestock producers, and horse owners with an additional option to support fly management efforts.

In Texas, the Texas Department of Agriculture has approved Section 2(ee) recommendations for these products. Neogen is also making Section 2(ee) recommendations available in Florida, providing producers in both states with additional tools to incorporate into broader fly management programs.

While NWS was largely eradicated from the United States decades ago, recent developments have increased industry attention on prevention, vigilance, and effective fly control programs.

Whether addressing emerging concerns such as NWS or routine pest pressures, prevention and prompt wound management remain important components of herd health programs. Neogen offers a broad range of insect control solutions to help producers manage insect challenges across a variety of livestock environments. Among them, Prozap® Screw Worm and Ear Tick Aerosol can help protect wounds from flies and maggots while controlling a variety of labeled pests, including ticks, gnats, and lice. Prozap® Insectrin X Concentrate can be incorporated into broader fly management programs to help manage fly populations in and around livestock facilities.

USDA officials have emphasized the importance of continued vigilance, monitoring, and information sharing as the situation evolves. Although NWS has received increased attention in recent weeks, livestock producers continue to manage a range of insect-related challenges, including horn flies, stable flies, face flies, ticks, and lice, that can affect animal health, welfare, and productivity.

“Producers face insect pressure every season, making prevention and routine monitoring essential parts of herd management,” said Kirk Ramsey, DVM, MS, Professional Services Veterinarian with Neogen. “Integrated fly control programs, prompt wound management, and regular observation of animals can help producers address ongoing insect challenges while remaining prepared for emerging concerns.”

Neogen encourages livestock producers to work closely with their veterinarians and animal health advisors to develop insect management programs tailored to their operations and regional needs.
