Innovative Approach to Tackle Red Mite Infestation in Layer Farms

Published: September 6, 2010
Summary

Poultry red mite (PRM), scientific name Dermanyssus gallinae, is a nocturnal blood feeding ectoparasite of birds. PRM is an acarus that requires blood of its host for development and reproduction. It particularly infests laying farms d...

Merci beaucoup pour cette article, les ectoparasites sont de véritables fléaux quand ils envahissent les poulaillers.Ils provoquent beaucoup de pertes économiques (réforme des bandes et vide sanitaire tres long). Les produits mis sur notre marché sont inneficaces. Est ce que votre produit est commercialisé au Maghreb

It is a good effort of D.Marzin to provide information of the silent enemy in laying

hens.AS she mention in their article parasites consume 0.2 ul of biood in each bite,

Due to this anaemia condition produced and reduced laying rate up to 25 [percent] which

is a big loss for laying farmers.PRM also reduced immune system, favouring e. coli,

canabolisman and also transfer pathogen such as Marek, Newcastle and salmonella.

In human effects skin irritation,itching and allergies etc.

Now the question is that all other ectoparasites, PRM also have a same mode of

action ? If we used product paralice in feed, How it act inside the intestine of

laying hens ?. If infestation of parasites in hens are more, than the dose of paralice

4kg / ton is enough or we incresed the dose.How it is possible that we depend only

inside therapy of the bird and forget outside therapy against this silent enemies?.

As a whole this article is good.
