More from Tribute

For easy keepers and overweight horses, this ration balancer delivers the nutrients without the sugar and starch. Feed it alone or as a top-dress with another Tribute feed to add vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids for performance or topline.

ClariFly helps stop horn flies, house flies, face flies, and stable flies from emerging in manure, so fly control starts where the flies do. The low feeding rate keeps calories down, and pre- and probiotics support digestive health.

Highlights

  • Fly control that starts in manure
  • Low sugar and starch for easy keepers
  • Small feeding rate keeps calories low
  • Vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids
  • Pre- and probiotics for digestive support
  • No added iron

ForageHay or pasture 50% or less alfalfa

Good to know

  • Pair it with hay or pasture that is 50% or less alfalfa; if your forage is mostly alfalfa, this is not the right balancer.
  • Use it as the whole ration balancer for an easy keeper, or top-dress it with another Tribute feed when your horse needs extra vitamins and minerals.
  • Keep quality forage in front of your horse every day; the balancer supplements forage, it does not replace it.
  • Start fly season before the flies show up, since ClariFly works by stopping them from emerging in manure.

Stock up before fly season so ClariFly is working when flies first show up.

Directions for use

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Feeding and management instructions

When used as directed, this product provides sufficient diflubenzuron insect growth regulator to prevent emergence of adult house flies (Musca domestica), stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans), face flies (Musca autumnalis), and horn flies (Haematobia irritans), from the manure of treated horses. Existing adult flies will not be affected. Start feeding before flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the fly season. Use this product as part of an integrated pest control program aimed at reducing fly populations. House and stable flies can breed and develop in decaying vegetable matter or spilled silage on premises in the horse’s environment. Good sanitation practices, such as cleaning up spilled feed and preventing manure build-up around barns and fences or under feed bunks, will eliminate additional breeding sites for these flies.

Feeding directions for equine

Mix or topdress this product daily with the ration to provide 0.15 mg Diflubenzuron/kg of horse (equine) body weight. Use the following table to determine the exact amount of this product needed based on the weight of each horse (equine) to be treated.
