Abstract:

Abstract There are several types of arthropods that constitute the major ectoparasites of poultry primarily lice, bugs, fleas, mites and ticks. They occur in environments with poor hygiene and where insecticides and/ or acaricides rarely used to control the parasites. Ectoparasites cause weight loss, irritation by sucking blood and reduce the egg yield and other production performances. Costs for treatment and control measures also led to economic losses in poultry production systems.The degree and type of infestation is markedly influenced by the production method
