We breed sterile flies at the Texas Plant to protect cattle from the larvae

The United States plans to breed thousands of sterile flies on the southern Texas Plant Seeking to protect the American cattle from meat in Mexico.

This week “New World” is “devastating pest”, – the US Ministry of Agriculture said.

“When NWS fly the larvae (larvae) to invade the flesh of the living animal, they apply serious, often death damage to the animal. SZS can infect animals, pets, wildlife, sometimes birds and, in rare cases.

Factory construction is expected to cost $ 750 million, and it will be located at the Moore air base outside Edinburgh, Texas, about 20 miles north of the border.

USDA says sterile flies are currently the most effective way to prevent the spread of larich, adding that it hopes to produce and release them into the wild throughout the year.

The secretary of the USDA Brooke Rolinz said the government also plans to spend $ 100 million on technologies such as traps and baits, therapeutic drugs, border patrols, “horses” installed on horseback, dogs prepared for the insurgency and other tools.

Rolinz added that the limit will remain closed for imports of cattle, horse and bison from Mexico As long as the parasite does not seem to be repelled closer to Panama, where it was kept by the end of last year through the breeding of sterile flies there.

“Safety Farms – This is national securityRolinz said at a press conference in Texas Capitoli in Austin together with Texas Governor Greg Ebott this week. But it is definitely Texas and our borders and livestock states that are on the forefront every day. “
