Resumen
The use of external antiparasitic is part of the preventive health actions in poultry
activities, however, some adverse factors are presented such as a limited effect on
the animal or the lack of knowledge of the appropriate application doses. Therefore,
the present study aimed to determine the efficacy of the use of fluralaner and
ivermectin antiparasitics in fighting birds to control the presence of ectoparasites,
mainly the red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae). A total of 100 birds classified into 4
groups of 25 animals were used in the investigation. The treatments corresponded
to T1: Fluralaner, T2: Ivermectin T3: Positive Control and T4: Negative Control.
Obtaining that the number of live mites in T1 was lower compared to T2, however,
no significant differences were found between treatments (T1 and T2), but yes with
respect to the positive control and negative control. Likewise, an average efficiency
of 95, 7% was determined for T1, while for T2 it was 98, 5%, in addition, significant
differences were detected with respect to T1 and PC, obtaining a higher mean. On
the other hand, the analysis of the annual treatment cost per bird showed that for
fluralaner it was $13, 6 USD and for ivermectin it was $1,278 USD. Based on the
above, it is concluded that for the control of red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) in
fighting birds, ivermectin is more effective and has lower costs compared to
fluralaner.
