Australian Wool Innovation has in place a proactive, intensive and committed flystrike prevention R&D program that has both long term and short term aims.
The ultimate longer-term aim is to remove the need for mulesing. The more immediate or short term aim is to provide methods to replace the practice of traditional mulesing with welfare-improved practices.
AWI supports all woolgrowers in their choice of best practice animal health and hygiene in flystrike control.
