The I-29 Moo University 2024 Dairy Webinar series continues from noon to 1 p.m. April 17 with a discussion on fly control with Dr. Phillip Jardon.

Discussion will cover the four main flies that are considered pests on dairies—house flies, stable flies, horn flies and face flies.

Dr. Jardon graduated from the Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine. He completed his master of preventive veterinary medicine and dairy production medicine residency at UC-Davis.

Jardon has been in private practice and industry for 35 years with particular interest in transition cow diseases – a passion he has had since working on milk fever on his parents’ dairy for his seventh-grade science fair project. Dr. Jardon worked as a dairy technical consultant with Elanco Animal Health in California for the last 11 years and is currently a Dairy Extension veterinarian at ISU.

There is no fee to participate in the webinar; however, registration is required at least one hour before the webinar. Register online at https://go.iastate.edu/FLYCONTROL24.
