American Hoofbeats

American Hoofbeats American Hoofbeats will feature equestrian podcasts Today’s Horsewoman and Today’s Horseman! Conservation is key in developing public/private partnerships.

American Hoofbeats intends to educate and promote the Mustang breed as a horse that is not only versatile but is also a valuable partner. We will also promote how important it is to keep our precious wild horses safe and well taken care of while educating the horse community about our responsibilities to utilize this valuable resource as a partner in the show pen, working ranches and trail riding.

We also want to bring attention to how important public lands that our wild horses roam over are to our heritage and our future. About the Show
American Hoofbeats will follow the journey of wild mustangs under different conditions and circumstances from wild to finished partner. The show will be available on ROKU on Farm and Ranch Teleivsion, 4CNC, and on our YouTube Channel.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has provided an important update on New World Screwworm which has been detected in a bovine in Zavala County, Texas. Read the full press release here: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-confirms-presence-new-world-screwworm-united-states

General information about New World Screwworm (NWS) can be found in the text below and in the attached infographic.

The adult screwworm fly is about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger), with orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along its back. It gets its name from the behavior of its larvae (maggots) as they burrow (screw) into the wound, feeding as they go. The maggots (larvae) cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts’ tissue with sharp mouth hooks. The wound can quickly become enlarged and deeper as more maggots hatch and feed on living tissue.

Because they feed on live flesh, NWS maggots may burrow deep into wounds or openings, while other species of maggots may appear around the outer surface of the wound. In addition, even the smallest wounds have the potential to attract flies, so it is imperative that you keep a close eye on your animals for any signs of wounds.

Lastly, NWS infestations are a reportable disease! Immediately report any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations to a local accredited veterinarian, your State Animal Health Official, or a USDA veterinarian.
