Abstract
This study intended to investigate the effects of slaked lime and ethanol on poultry red mites (PRM) in the coops of laying hen. Three experiments were conducted to this effect. The first used untreated hydrated lime as a control and 10% and 20% aqueous solutions of hydrated lime were used as treatments. The second experiment used 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% ethanol solutions as treatments. The third experiment used hydrated lime in two distinct concentrations (10% and 20%) and 30%, 40%, and 50% ethanol solutions mixed to yield a total of 6 (2 × 3) treatments. All treatments were tested three times each. In the first experiment, the PRM killing rates were 74.0% and 92.3% when treated with 10% and 20% hydrated lime solutions, respectively. The acaricidal activity of the control sample was 0%. In the second experiment, the lowest value was 1.67% for the 30% ethanol solution, 8.33% for the 40% solution, and 7.47% for the 50% solution. The acaricidal activities of the 60% and 70% solutions were 42.4% and 84.7%, respectively. A 100% acaricidal activity was observed in dilutions above 80% (P<0.05). In the third experiment, the PRM killing effect of the hydrated lime + ethanol mixture was 100% in all treatments. In conclusion, after taking into consideration the economical and safety factors, a mixture of 10% hydrated lime solution and 30% ethanol is considered to be a suitable candidate for controlling PRM.
