The management of parasitic infestations in domestic fowl requires a multi-faceted approach. Effective control necessitates understanding the lifecycle of these external parasites and implementing targeted interventions to minimize their impact on bird health and productivity. Various strategies, ranging from environmental management to direct application of acaricides, contribute to a comprehensive control plan.
Addressing these parasitic infestations is critical for maintaining the well-being of poultry flocks. Uncontrolled infestations can lead to anemia, decreased egg production, and increased susceptibility to other diseases, resulting in significant economic losses for poultry producers. Historically, these parasites have posed a consistent challenge to poultry farming, necessitating the development and refinement of control methods over time.
