I've fed my girls garlic for a couple of years now.  I've been very pleased.
I only need fly wipe around their udders, eyes and ears.

I've been feeding garlic to my horses for a number of years and would hate to
do without. I start feeding it around March or April until October. I don't
feed it during the winter months. I very rarely use fly spray while feeding
garlic.

Keep in mind that not all garlic is created equal. I buy mine from Springtime
because it's the best I have found. Here is the link to their site:

http://www.springtimeinc.com/

The product is called Bug Off Garlic for horses. They also have a comparison
chart showing the difference between their garlic and other garlic.

Some time ago there was a article in a popular magazine proclaiming garlic is
bad for horses. The tests were done with cheap grade garlic and NOT Springtime
garlic. I have a copy of a letter that Springtime wrote to the magazines'
publisher asking them to do a rebuttal, which they never did. If anyone wants
to read it, let me know.
