GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE j OF AGRICULTURE 1 Poultry Division. By J. H. Wood. External Parasites. Maximum results cannot be expect ed from a farm flock that is infested with parasites. During the hot summer months parasites of all kind are most prolific arid therefore trou blesome. With a little care and at tention, however, parasites can be controlled. The following control methods will be found effective: The chicken body louse is a small eating insect that lives and breeds on the bird and feeds on the scales found at the base of the feathers. The louse irritates and annoys the bird and when numerous, causes emaciation and lowers eggs production. There are three common methods of controlling chicken lice; namely, by dusting, dipping and by greasing. The dusting method consists of dust ing the bird thoroughly with some good louse powder. A good home made powder can be made as follows: Take one-fourth pint crude carbolic acid, three-fourths quart gasoline, two and one-half pounds plaster of Paris and mix slowly, but thoroughly. Pass mixture through mosquito wire screen and allow to dry for several hours. Powder should be kept in an air-tight jar. Care should be used to get powder well into feathers on all sections of the bird. This can be accomplished by holding bird by the legs, head down and shaking powder from a perforated can. Sodium fluoride can be purchased •from most drug stores at from 35 to 50 cents a po'hnd. One pound will treat onemundred birds. When using sodium fludride, apply only a small pinch under- each wing, breast, neck, back and under the vent. Operator should be careful not to get sodium fluoride in a cut or scratch on the hands. DIPPING BIRDS: Birds may be dipped in a five percent solution of any good disinfectant. A good dip may be made by using one ounce of sodium fluoride to a gallon of water. One pound will be sufficient for three hundred birds. Dipping should not be done on cold, cloudy days nor late in the afternoon. GREASING: A mixture of equal parts by weight of mercuric or blue ointment and vaseline, makes one of the best louse eradicators. Apply portion about the size of an English pea to skin, about two inches below the vent. If all birds are treated at one time a single application will last for several months. HEAD LOUSE: The head louse does not cause much trouble with adult birds, but will kill small chicks. Greasing heads of young chicks with lard or vaseline will destroy head lice. It is advisable to grease heads of all chicks running with hens when, lice are present on the hens. After treating birds for lice, the house should be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed. Mites. Mites are very small blood sucking insects that feed an the blood of live poultry. This insect is troublesome in summer and causes thousands of dollars loss each year. Unlike the louse, it breeds and multiplies off the bird in cracks and crevices about the roosts, nests, dropping boards, on trash, and under tree bark. To con trol mites, spray the house thorough ly with some good disinfectant, gas oline oi’ kerosene oil. The latter - is easy to obtain and efficient. If mites are numerous, two applications should be made about a week apart. Mites will weaken all birds and kill many, if allowed to multiply. Whitewash, applied with brush or spray pump to the interior of the house, is of great help in the control of poultry parasites. Any wood preservative, such as Carbosota, will be excellent for keep ing down the troublesome mite. Same inay be applied as a spray or may be painted on the woodwork about, the roost, dropping board and nest. One treatment will last several months. Mixture should be applied early in the day so as to allow it to soak in well before birds go to roost. Wood preservative will burn the feet and body in case the bird comes in con tact with it when first applied. Stick-tight Flea. The stick-tight flea is a small in sect that attacks the bird about the head near the eyes, on the wattles, and on the comb. This flea is very irritating. Individual treatment must be given each bird. The infested por tions should be massaged with a 5 per cent carbolated vaseline, or a mixture of one part kerosene with two parts of lard. The house should be sprinkled occasionally with water during troublesome seasons. Scaly Legs. This common condition is caused by a small mite that lives and breeds underneath the scales on the legs.
