-- Patent-Pending PheroGuard™ System Demonstrates Potential as a New Layer of Biosecurity Protection for Livestock Operations
Oklahoma City, OK — June 2026 — Blue Green Ventures Inc. and Blue Magic Naturals today announced the continued advancement of field trials for PheroGuard™, a patent-pending livestock protection technology designed to disrupt insect host-location behavior while redirecting pest pressure away from animals through an integrated lure and trapping approach.
As concerns grow about the resurgence and spread of the New World Screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) and other economically damaging fly species, livestock producers, veterinarians, and agricultural agencies are seeking additional tools to strengthen biosecurity and reduce insect pressure on vulnerable animals.
PherooGuard™ is being evaluated as a comprehensive three-part protection system consisting of:
PheroGuard™ Concentrate Spray for livestock and perimeter applications
PheroGuard™ Topical Ointment for use around wounds and sensitive areas
PheroGuard™ Perimeter Granules for environmental and facility treatment
The technology is designed to interfere with the biological signals insects rely on to identify suitable hosts while encouraging movement toward strategically placed lure-and-trap systems. The result is intended to reduce fly pressure around livestock while supporting broader integrated pest management efforts.
Current field evaluations are underway across multiple geographic regions and livestock environments, including cattle operations and additional animal applications.
“The New World Screwworm represents one of the most significant livestock biosecurity threats facing producers today,” said Ryan Early, Chairman of Blue Green Ventures Inc. “PheroGuard™ was developed around a simple concept: if we can interrupt the signals insects depend on to locate a host, we may be able to provide producers with an entirely new layer of protection. While trials remain ongoing, the potential impact on animal welfare, producer economics, and national biosecurity is substantial.”
The economic implications of effective prevention technologies are considerable. New World Screwworm infestations can lead to severe animal injury, increased treatment costs, reduced productivity, and significant operational burdens for producers. As agencies and industry groups continue preparedness efforts, preventative technologies are expected to play an increasingly important role in comprehensive response programs.
"The re-emergence of the New World Screwworm threat demands innovation, collaboration, and decisive action. American agriculture has always risen to challenges through ingenuity, and it is encouraging to see U.S.-based companies advancing promising, non-toxic technologies designed to help protect livestock from destructive parasites. While field trials remain underway, these efforts reflect the type of forward-thinking research that could expand our toolbox in the fight against New World Screwworm. Every potential solution deserves careful evaluation as we work together to protect producers, animals, and the food supply.The Texas Department of Agriculture supports responsible innovation and science-driven approaches that strengthen livestock health and agricultural security." Said Commissioner Sid Miller, Texas Department of Agriculture.
Mark Hall, Chairman of Earth X Conservation Ambassadors, expressed support for the technology’s potential role in integrated pest management efforts. “As conservationists and agricultural stakeholders continue searching for safer and more sustainable approaches to pest control technologies like PheroGuard™ represent an exciting advancement,” Hall said. “Its potential to serve as an effective companion to currently used pesticides and trap systems could help reduce reliance on more toxic interventions while providing livestock producers with another valuable tool to protect animal health, strengthen biosecurity, and support responsible stewardship of our agricultural and natural resources.”
The PheroGuard™ platform is currently undergoing field evaluations, and no efficacy claims have been verified by regulatory authorities. Data generated through ongoing trials will be used to support future development, validation efforts, and regulatory pathways where applicable.
Blue Green Ventures Inc and Blue Magic Naturals remain committed to advancing practical, environmentally conscious solutions that support livestock producers, animal health professionals, and agricultural agencies confronting emerging pest challenges.
