Integrated methods of combating sheep ectoparasites
Abstract
Recently, in various countries of the world, in particular, the USA, Germany, Canada, India and Russia, tangible results have been achieved in the use of biological methods for combating zoophilic insects and ecoparasites, the use of microbiological and pyrethroid preparations with a plant base. Zoophilic insects and mites as ecto- and endoparasites parasitize on the body of animals and people cause infestation, that is, parasitosis (entomoses and acarosis), as a result of which the milk productivity of cattle decreases to 30-40 percent, meat productivity annually decreases by 10-12 kilograms, and also negatively affect the growth and development of young animals and lead to death.
