Worm Infestation:
Internal parasitic worms are common in poultry and will always be present in small numbers. However, when present in excess they can seriously affect the health and productivity of birds.
Control measures
(1)Medicines such as vermex, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachilorethylene and piperazine citrate can be used.
External Parasites:
There are many different external parasities harboured by poultry. The commonest are mites, fleas, lice and ticks.
Symptoms:
Chickens are restless and nervous.
Chickens peck at their own feathers.
Pale combs and wattles.
Low egg production.
Control Measures:
Tick, lice, and flea powder should be rubbed into the feathers and skin of the birds.
When each batch of birds is cleared spray the entire house and surrounding ground with malathion or any suitable pesticide.
A regular spray of creosote will kill these pests and, at the same time, preserve the structure of the house.
