Chicken lice is an extracorporeal parasite of chickens. It is only 1-2 mm long, wingless, with 3 pairs of feet, a pair of antennae and chewing mouthparts. The head, chest and abdomen are independent. The width of the head is generally wider than that of the chest. Where there are chicken lice parasites, feather loss, mental malaise, loss of appetite, chicks will affect the development, hen laying rate dropped sharply. Here are three methods to eliminate chicken lice:

The step-by-step method is simple and effective, and can be applied all year round. The method is to grind the lice powder, such as a magic pen, or put it in a gauze bag with veterinary medicine. The treatment is to clip the diseased chicken and spread the powder carefully in the feathers of the chest, back, lower abdomen, thigh, neck and wings of the chicken. After sprinkling, gently rub the feathers so that the powder is evenly distributed.

The medicine bath method has the advantages of rapid effect and small consumption, so it is suitable for a large number of treatments. In warm areas, medicine baths can be used all the year round. In cold areas, it can only be used in summer. The way is to choose a warm, windless day, preferably in the morning, in the sun, so that the chicken feathers have plenty of time to dry. Take a medicine bath with warm water, hold the wings of the diseased chicken and immerse the chicken in the liquid for a few seconds until the feathers of the whole body are loose. Soak the diseased chicken head for 1 or 2 times. After the chicken body liquid dries up a little, release the chicken. The commonly used bath agent 0.5% trichlorfon solution has the strongest lice killing effect, but poisoning should be prevented.

One tablet of trichlorfon was taken by spray method, and 100 ml of water was added after grinding the powder, and then stirred to form a solution of 0.05% concentration. Spray the liquid on the feathers of the chicken with a small sprayer at night, spray it again the next morning, and spray it again every 10 days or so.
