Clinical Examination of the Control Red Chicken Mites Dermanyssus Gallinae

Abstract

Laboratory trials of the preparations give limited, preliminary efficacy information to Dermanyyus gallinae (De Geer, 1778). It is only under the realistic conditions of clinical trials that it is possible to obtain a final picture of the effectiveness of D. gallinae control. We recommend the following elements of clinical trials: 1. basic farm and facility data; 2. Important technological elements (such as: type of production, complexity of cages and equipment, capacity, length of exploitation, etc.); 3. weather condition: temperature (year period), and, if necessary, humidity; 4. hygienic conditionality .; 5. initial intensity and extent of infestation; 6. laboratory tests: basic biological efficiency (for all substances) and hemoresistence (for substances creating resistance); 7. application: the moment of application (before or during exploitation), concentration and dose; description of the mode of performance; control; 8. adaptation by behaviour (observation on the farm); 9. length of the object's break; 10. biosecurity: outside (infestation of a new, young flock, infestation of cage transport) and within the farm; 11. control: method and periodicity, with a final clinical assessment over a period of one year (one exploitation); 12. undesirable effects, disorders, complications, side effects; 13. the rest.
