Fly Strike Vaccine?

As above. Hygiene and good health is the key. I did once use a fly repellent spray on my rabbits as it is potent and flies avoid it but I wouldn't try it on pigs.
In Franks outdoor hutch I greatly minimise flies by securely fixing fine insect net on the front and sealing all other gaps but flies are persistent and can't be underestimated.

My last bunny, Louie, used to suffer regular bouts of Stasis and then, after medication, would get a terribly mucky bum. No amount of diet tweeking ever helped.

We used Rearguard on him, even though he was a freeranging house rabbit, he still used to freerange outside too. However, I'm aware that it is very strong and potent and I too would never recommend it for use on piggies.
 
If anyone in the UK is looking for prevention then gorgeous guineas have something you can spray on hutches to deter flies. Its all made from essential oils and isn't going to stop them 100% but might help keep them away.
