🐴 Reminder: Stay alert for hairy processionary caterpillars! 🐛 As we approach the high-risk period for hairy processionary caterpillars (Ochrogaster lunifer), it's crucial for stud staff to stay vigilant. These caterpillars and their nest material can cause equine amnionitis and fetal loss syndrome (EAFL) in pregnant mares. Top tips: ✅ Remove egg masses (October–December) and nests (January–March). ✅ Investigate all abortions with post-mortem, ultrasound other at-risk mares, and follow up with targeted veterinary treatment. ✅ Handle with care: Always wear PPE when handling egg masses and nests. Dispose of eggs and nests by deep burial. By staying vigilant, we can protect our mares and help prevent EAFL.
