MAGGOTS WERE EATING THIS LAMB ALIVE! 

Guys, this is common in Australia. The blow flies there lay eggs on living animals. He is not neglecting his animals he is taking care of the problem.

For those who want to criticize, but can’t be bothered to Google… This happens FAST. On live sheep…The Blowfly lays eggs on soiled fleeces (diarrhea, blood from injury, etc.) The eggs hatch into first stage larvae within about 12 hours. These larvae feed on skin and faecal material, becoming mature third-stage maggots in as little as 3 days if temperature and humidity are at optimum levels. Third-stage maggots then drop to the ground and pupate; mature flies emerge after 3 to 7 days during warm months, but if it’s getting cool, pupae can live in the soil and emerge as soil temperatures rise during the spring. This can be the start of a new fly strike season.

Holy hell that was a bad one! That one spot had gotten so bad the maggots we're ready to become flies! The poor baby had a massive hole in it's skin! I'm glad it got your help!

Ugh. Fly strike. I’m so glad you treated it before the poor lamb died.

A. He was gone for about a week and it only takes about 2 days to become completely infested. Terrible creatures flies. B. He left his farm in capable hands so this isn't on him or his caretaker. The cow went and had her calf in the wood area away from the herd and hid the place she delivered. The farmer had to go search for the calf and get meds and fly repellant to protect the little guy. Also we have fly strike here in the US as well. It's a farming problem so few people know about it. Most farmers take care of those things themselves and no vet is involved unless it is a major infestation and help is needed.

Do you bathe them and give them medication?

those close ups are amazing

WOW!!! I can only imagine what that poor sheep went through. How long are the maggots eating away at them for their skin to get to this point?

Does anyone else’s head itch when they watch this??

I'm new to this and was wondering how can it get this bad. Is noone paying attention to these animals or this happens very quickly. Jus asking cuz I love this channel. Thank you

Ouch skin looks so sore!, It’ll feel nice after she’s washed and cream put on then lit the air get to it x

Wish I could see the final step after entire sheer and washed.

I couldn’t imagine how sore that must be you shaving that ouch!! 😩

Has the sheep been treated further ?

Poor thing. They ate him up. Geesh... I know the sheep feels better now. Watching these videos, is it always in the back area? Do they not shave other areas to make sure?

You know he was in so much pain 😢😢😢

How long does it take for the treatment to work and the animal to heal?

That was amazing !!

Poor sheep do you give them antibiotics in addition to shaving them?

Is there such a thing as a dip tank that work more effectively earlier on in there growing season . I don’t know this is why I ask thank you 👍👍

What happened to this poor lamb? Did they get attacked or fall off a cliff or something?

This gave me the creeps!! Wow .

Being a farmer is not easy

These poor angels 😮

That looks so sore and itchy and uncomfortable. Poor things. So creepy when you shave away the wool and there are hundreds of maggots wriggling frantically

How do you find out or know a lamb is having a maggot problem? Do you do regular checks?

Poor baby❤ is the sheep better now?

How do you get rid of them? How does the wound on the lamb heal?

Nice video.

How long does it take for maggots to turn to flys and would they fly off or just lay more maggots

I love to see those clippers tear those bugs apart but that poor sheep how that red raw skin must hurt. I could not be a farmer they have to do things that is just hard to take. It breaks my heart but nature is cruel at times. But I am glad those little buggers got chopped.

Does it hurt the sheep 🐑?🥺💔😭

I wish I could see more of this clip

Poor sheep how painful it would be

So how is this possible bot flies

Do you think/know if this hurts or feels good to get all those maggots?

How dose this happen to them and why dose it ????????

How does this happen??? What causes this to occur ??

Omg. This is horrible for the animal and for the caretaker. 😢😢😢

my god there’s nothing to prevent this before it gets that bad?

Do sheep sometimes die from flystrike?

Can we get an update video on the healing of this sheep please?

What happens to the maggot infested wool.

Poor animal and you my friend are a good shepherd for caring even for one sheep. Reminds of the Lord, We are infested with spirtual parsites and sin but through Jesus the Christ we are trimmed and cleansed. Blessings friend.

That is absolutely horrible!!! Poor poor animal to have to live like that !! Obviously needs to be checked and tended to more often

Can they be control?

This can happen anywhere to any animal… even humans. Looks like they caught it in the nick of time!

This particular parasite is different right, from your average fly maggot? Do you happen to know their name? I've studied them over 6 years. Never are they mentioned medically or scientifically. Nor are they listed anywhere by entomologists. I could go on, about how they can live anywhere & even infest us... But I just wanna talk to someone who recognizes them. :/ help?

incredible

Como deixou chegar nesse estado ....misericórdia 😢

That is horrible, they need to be checked more often

How does this happen

OK he's looking after his sheep, but they must be sore and in pain.

Ils sont énormément abîmé les pauvres moutons 😢😢

That poor lamb. I know. That has to be unbelievably pain full and the crawling eeewww. I cant imagine. I gather these sheep are for meat not wool? What % of the flock end up having to go through this? Would it be feasible to have a fly bath that after they come in to eat or on the way in that was deep enough and long enough that the solution would soak to the skin.?

Poor sheep

My skin is crawling

We need to see the finish touches of this video

I don’t think I could be a farmer. I’m too scatterbrained to remember all the stuff you have to do to properly care for animals

What a grotesque scene

Look how long this sheep left unattended,his whole back is so sore

poor angels 😇

I ain't going to touch a sheep or lamb ever again 💀

Como consegue chegar a este ponto, ser comido vivo? Pobre animal.

이렇게까지 왜 방치를하시나???😢😢😢😢😢 얼마나 가렵고 아팠을까?????😢😢😢😢😢

Boze , to musi strasznie boleć , tak jeździć ta maszynka po tej zranionej skorze 😢😢😢😢 ,

Horrible things poor animals ❤❤

poor thing :(

Completely preventable.

And I thought mosquito bites were the worst

I imagine how that smell stinks

Poor sheep

You gotta watch ALL your animals for flies...not just sheep...they will attack any type of animal with wet or nasty fur for whatever reason...rabbits sheep cats dog...hot humid conditions and your animal can be flyblown in a couple of hours...infested within 24 abd eaten alive at the 48 hour mark. If you have ever had to remove maggots from a live otherwise healthy animal it's something you will NEVER FIRGET...use fly traps if you can...sticky tapes...spray etc but the best defense is watch your animals....

😧 The smell of this has to be the worst !

How bad does that smell?

HOLY CRAP😢

Aren’t there pesticides insecticides

😮

Das Scheren ist eine Erlösung.

Omg

Poor thing

いや～～〜～～～～～ 😱😱😱😱😱 うじゃうじゃいる〜～!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Omg

Omg 😮😮😳😳

Бедное животное сколько оно страдало

Do not eat this animal

flash eating maggots are the worst.

I wonder how you took too long to do this

You obviously did not check this lamb often enough. How would you like to live that way. Try todo better.

หนังสือ..ชีวิตนี้น้อยนัก

Das arme Tier! Ein Tierarzt wär angebracht

But vegans be like STOOP!! YOUR TAKING THE SHEEPS WOOL IT BELONGS TO THEM YOUR HURTING IT!
