Master Principles and Practices of Insect Pest Management – Notes, Case Studies & Practical Insights – with Rahul

Introduction

  • Arthropod pests limit production in the goat, sheep, poultry and cattle industry in many ways. External parasites feed on body tissue such as blood, skin.
  • The wounds and skin irritation produced by these parasites result in discomfort and irritation to the animal.
  • Parasites can transmit diseases from sick to healthy animals. They can reduce weight gain and milk production.

 

What is the economic impact?

  • Losses can occur from these parasites due to irritation, blood loss, depressed appetite, and decreased rate of gain.
  • Mange can affect the mammary gland and interfere with milking. Lactating animals will lose production depending on the level of infestation.
