What is Warble?

Warble is a furry fly that becomes parasitic on cattle, deer and horses. It is scientifically known as the genus Hypoderma. Hypoderma lineatum is a term for Warbles Horse Warbles and Hypoderma Bovis is a term for warbly cattle. Warble is also known as "heel-years", "bomb" and "GAD FLY" in the common language. The larvae are often referred to as "Scottish Gruby" or "Wolves". One fly can put up to eight hundred eggs per cow. When the eggs hatch, the larvae crawl over the hair and on the skin, penetrating them to reach the subcutaneous level - the level just below the skin. This is incredibly irritating to the animal.

After months of traveling the body of cattle and enlargement, the larvae usually settles on the back of cattle, near the spine and swells. The swelling leads to pimpleted cysts under the skin of cattle. There, larvae molt for thirty days. Then, mature larva throws itself from the cyst and falls to the ground to withstand 35 to 60 days of the kukon -like cocoon. After this phase, an adult warble appears to start the cycle again.

Although Warbly does not cause direct damage to the animal, they can represent many harmful effects. Since the fly is so permanent and hatched larvae cause the animal so much discomfort, the animal may not penetrate due to constant tension. This can lead to the animal may lose weight, resulting in reduced milk production. The value of the fur of the carcase can also be degraded when holes from larvae coming from the cysts are intertwined.

While Warble refers to this type of annoying flies, it also refers to a musical trill or a beautiful sequence of low notes. The musical definition is derived from the old high German word from the 14th century for Whirlwind. In this use, the word altaje can be used as a verb, as in the act of warbling. Warbling is to sing with many twists and turns; This means with different playgrounds that change rapidly.
