Problem and Control of Poultry Red Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) in Layer Production
Abstract
Poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) is an ectoparasite causing great economic deleterious to laying hen industry in many counties of the world. The blood-feeding parasite adversely affects the health, welfare, and performance of hens. Various synthetic acaricides are commonly used to control poultry red mites. However, chemical applications can cause numerous problems, including mite resistance, the ineffectiveness of active ingredients and harmful residues in the products and environment. Therefore, in the control of poultry red mite, it is becoming increasingly important to identify alternative methods that are less harmful to the environment and human health. Plants products used in organic food production could be an alternative to chemical caricides. In this review, the properties of poultry red mite, the problems caused by synthetic acaricides and the usage potential of plant products as acaricide have been examined.
