BREAKING: We have received reports—and video evidence—of two potential New World Screwworm (NWS) infestations in U.S. cattle: one in Texas, one in Oklahoma.

Recent reports from Meriwether Farms indicate alarming developments concerning livestock health in the U.S. The emergence of two potential New World Screwworm (NWS) infestations raises concerns for cattle farmers and veterinarians alike. This invasive pest can have devastating effects on livestock, leading to severe economic consequences for ranchers.

The New World Screwworm is notorious for its destructive larvae, which can infest the wounds of animals, leading to painful and often fatal outcomes. Cattle in Texas and Oklahoma are now under scrutiny, with video evidence reported but withheld for security reasons. The choice to not share the videos stems from a previous incident where Meriwether Farms faced restrictions on their social media accounts.

Understanding the threat of NWS is crucial for cattle owners. These infestations can spread rapidly, making early detection and intervention vital. Farmers should be vigilant for signs of infection, such as unusual behavior in cattle, open wounds, or excessive grooming. If you suspect an infestation, it’s important to contact local agricultural authorities or veterinarians immediately.

Preventative measures can be implemented to protect herds from potential infestations. Regular health checks, maintaining a clean environment, and using approved insecticides can significantly reduce the risk of NWS.

As the situation develops, keep an eye on updates from trusted sources like Meriwether Farms. Staying informed can help you safeguard your livestock and ensure the health of your herd during these challenging times.
