The summary below highlights key information about New World screwworm, along with a link to additional resources if you would like to learn more. Early detection, proper wound care, and timely veterinary treatment are essential for protecting the health of horses and other livestock.

New World Screwworm: Prevention and Treatment Options

• New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals, creating painful and potentially life-threatening wounds.
• Horses and other livestock are at risk when they have open wounds, including injuries, surgical incisions, or umbilical sites in newborn animals.
• Early signs include wounds that fail to heal, drainage, foul odor, swelling, and the presence of visible larvae in the affected tissue.
• Prevention focuses on prompt wound care, regular inspection of animals, fly control measures, and restricting animal movement from affected areas when appropriate.
• Immediate veterinary treatment is essential to remove larvae, clean the wound, administer appropriate medications, and report suspected cases to animal health authorities because New World screwworm is a reportable disease.

A Customer's Foot Mallet Order-Discount on Multiples

 Recently, one of our customers ordered two custom foot mallets. These mallets are designed for practicing and playing on the ground rather than on horseback. Each mallet is handcrafted and built to the customer's specifications, including custom lengths and head colors.

Our foot mallets are lightweight, making them comfortable and easy to use for players of all skill levels. Because every mallet is made by hand, we take pride in the craftsmanship and personal attention that goes into each one. We also work closely with our customers to ensure they receive a product that meets their needs.

As a growing startup, we hope to partner with polo teams interested in ordering multiple mallets. We offer volume discounts, so the more you purchase, the lower the cost per mallet.

Our business began as a challenge to build a company with less than $500 in startup costs. Giving back is an important part of our mission, and our goal is to donate about 50% of our profits to charitable causes—often even more.
