SUMMARY:Tick IPM & New Approaches to Fly Thresholds on Cattle
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explore two timely livestock IPM topics: managing ticks on cattle and rethinking traditional fly thresholds. With changing tick pressures and new insights into cattle behavior and pest impacts\, this session offers updated\, practical guidance to help producers make more effective\, evidence-based management decisions. \nThe webinar will be presented by Dr. Cassandra Olds. She is a Veterinary Entomologist and Assistant Professor at Kansas State University\, known for her innovative research on livestock pests and her practical\, science-based approaches to improving animal health and welfare. She will join us in this webinar series to share her expertise and provide new perspectives on effective integrated pest management for ticks on cattle and how we can rethink fly thresholds. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Managing Ticks on Horses
DESCRIPTION:Ticks are a major concern for horse owners and managers due to their role in transmitting diseases and causing irritation and blood loss. This webinar will discuss the most common tick species affecting horses\, their seasonal activity\, and habitats. Participants will learn how to reduce tick exposure through habitat management\, host protection\, and other integrated control tactics that minimize risk to horses and humans alike. \nThe webinar will be presented by Dr. Erika Machtinger. She is an Associate Professor of Entomology at Penn State University\, specializing in veterinary entomology and integrated pest management (IPM) for livestock and horses. Her research focuses on developing sustainable\, science-based approaches to manage flies\, ticks\, and other pests affecting animal health and welfare. Dr. Machtinger provides practical guidance on pest identification\, prevention\, and control strategies that protect both animals and people while reducing reliance on chemical treatments. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Flies and Biting Insects on Horses—Managing the Persistent Pests
DESCRIPTION:Filth flies and biting insects are among the most common and persistent pests around horses and stables. This session will cover the identification\, biology\, and management of key species. Learn practical\, integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to reduce pest pressure\, protect horse health\, and improve comfort and productivity through sustainable control approaches. \nThe webinar will be presented by Dr. Erika Machtinger.

SUMMARY:Cattle Confinement Fly Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
DESCRIPTION:Flies are a persistent issue in confinement settings\, affecting animal comfort\, milk production\, and overall health. This webinar will cover the identification and management of key filth fly species\, including house and stable flies. Learn how to integrate sanitation\, mechanical and biological controls\, and targeted pesticide use for long-term fly management in dairy and beef confinement facilities. \nThe webinar will be presented by Ken Wise. He is the Dairy and Livestock Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Coordinator and Associate Director of Agricultural IPM with the Cornell Integrated Pest Management Program. He leads statewide efforts to research\, develop\, and evaluate IPM strategies for managing flies\, ticks\, and other livestock pests. \n\n\n	Related
