Incidence And Chemotherapy Of Ecto-Parasites Of Cattle, Sheep, Goats And Poultry In Northern Areas - 1983
The various species of ecto-parasites viz; ticks, lice, mites and warbles parasitizing cattle, sheep, goats and poultry in Northern Areas of Pakistan were recorded.
From cattle, Hyalomma aegyotium, hyalomma anatolicum, anatolicum Boophilus microplus, and hypoderma lineatum were recorded. Haematopinus eurysternus recorded from sheep and goats.
In sheep hyalomma aegyptium and melophagus ovinus were recorded. From goats hyalomma aegyptium and Hypoderma lineatum were recorded. Whereas, from poultry the ecto-parasites viz; Argas persicus recorded.
Out of the 100 cattle examined, 68 was found to be infested with one or more species of ecto-parasites, 32 were found to be infested with one or more species of ecto-parasites, 32 were found to be infested with ticks, 20 with lice and only two with larvae of warble flies. Similarly of the 100 sheep examined,only 16 were found to be infested with ticks and 13 with lice. Likewise, of the 100 goats examined, only 10 were found to be infested with ticks and 3 warbles. While out of the 100 birds examined, 20 were found to be infested with one or more types of the ecto-parasites, for instance 10 were found to be infested with ticks.
For the control of cattle ticks gammexane, tetmosol, ascabiol, gamatox, asuntol and neguvon were 86.10, 79.56, 61.73, 58.16, 52.33 percent effective after 24 hours and 100.0, 100.0, 52.04, 58.37, 77.00 and 68.69% effective after 30 days of the application of insecticides. For the control of sheep and goats ticks, the afore-mentioned insecticides. In the same order were 77.20, 82.23, 52.03, 68.17, 78.40 &57.26 percent effective after 24 hours at 100.0, 100.0, 36.90, 17.80, 43.53 and 15.66 percent effective after 30 days respectively after the application of the insecticides.
While on the poultry, the same insecticides were 76.96, 65.20, 54.63, 82.33, 85.06, 78.86 percent after 24 hours and 100.00, 100.00, 22.27, 36.60, 42.14 and 63.67 percent effective after 30 days respectively after the application of the insecticides.
For the control of lice on cattle 91.86,89.90,79.70,86.26,87.06,93.56 percent effective after 24 hours and 100.00, 10.0,75.70,85.57,93.24 and 85.67 percent effective after 30 days respectively after application of the insecticides.
The insecticides, Gammexane, Tetmosol, Asuntol and Neguvon were 88.00, 84.76, 96.26, 97.13 percent effective after 7th days and 78.73, 80.25, 100.00 and 100.0 percent effective after 30 days respectively after the application of the insecticides.
For the effective control of ecto-parasites, the use of Gammexane, Tetmosol, Neguvon and Asuntol for the control of ticks mites and warbles in the animals is recommended.
