Abstract

Despite effective control of flies using synthetic pesticides, fly resistance and environmental contamination have led to the inadequacy of this strategy. The use of integrated pest management approaches has since been advocated in contemporary research to sustainably control fly populations. Recent studies have found garlic (Allium Sativum) and its derivative bioactive compounds to possess insect-repellent attributes among other key health and production enhancing properties. This highlights the potential of garlic as a botanical pesticide to control flies in cattle. Moreover, the ability of cattle to naturally repel flies is influenced by animal genetic predisposition. The dietary garlic supplementation and gene interaction in disease resistance could also be an influential factor in repelling flies in cattle. Transcriptomics has emerged as a valuable tool in animal breeding and genetics which allows identification of trait-associated genes and understanding of complex interactions between dietary nutrients and animal genome expression. This paper explores the nutrigenomic effects of garlic supplementation on cattle and its contribution towards fly repellence efficacy in cattle. It was concluded that garlic supplementation in cattle diets could offer a sustainable approach to managing fly infestations in cattle farming. These findings underscore the importance of further research to validate these assertions and optimise the use of garlic to control flies in cattle under different production systems.

大蒜(Allium Sativum)营养基因组学对牛驱蝇效能的研究。
尽管使用合成农药有效地控制了蝇类,但蝇类抗药性和环境污染导致这一策略的不足。自那时以来,在当代研究中一直提倡使用综合虫害管理方法来可持续地控制苍蝇种群。最近的研究发现,大蒜(Allium Sativum)及其衍生物的生物活性化合物具有驱虫特性以及其他关键的健康和提高产量的特性。这凸显了大蒜作为植物杀虫剂控制牛蝇的潜力。此外,牛自然排斥苍蝇的能力受到动物遗传倾向的影响。饲粮中大蒜的添加和抗病基因的相互作用也可能是牛驱蝇的影响因素。转录组学已经成为动物育种和遗传学的一种有价值的工具,它可以识别性状相关基因,并了解膳食营养素与动物基因组表达之间的复杂相互作用。本文探讨了补大蒜对牛的营养基因组效应及其对牛驱蝇效果的贡献。综上所述,在牛日粮中添加大蒜可以提供一种可持续的方法来管理牛场的苍蝇侵扰。这些发现强调了进一步研究的重要性,以验证这些断言,并优化大蒜在不同生产系统下控制牛蝇的使用。
