CHICKENS

Ramuta Farm, located in Slovenia, specializes in egg production with an aviary system. The farm consists of four facilities, each with a capacity of 50,000 laying hens. Faced with a significant problem of red poultry mites affecting hen health and production efficiency, it was decided to implement treatment with Pulcap.

Problem

Before the treatment, the infestation level of red mites was marked as 3+ on a scale from 1+ to 4+, indicating a high degree of infestation adversely affecting production and hen health.

Solution

The Pulcap product was chosen for its effectiveness in eliminating red poultry mites. The product was prepared by mixing with water at a 10% Pulcap ratio, forming an emulsion that was applied to all surfaces within the facilities. Equipment was prepared and treated with the emulsion, applied using systemically connected hoses to a wall-mounted frame, allowing thorough soaking of all surfaces and preventing the movement and nesting of mites. Additionally, technical surfaces were sprayed by hand.

Results

One month after the chickens were moved in, there were absolutely no traces of red poultry mites. The infestation level was reduced to 1+, which does not impact production or hen health. Since the first treatment on September 21, 2020, the facilities are only prepared before the introduction of new flocks. The hens are healthy and productive, and egg production proceeds smoothly according to company plans.

Discussion

The application of Pulcap showed remarkable results in eliminating red poultry mites, contributing significantly to the improvement of hen health and production efficiency. This case can serve as a model for other farms facing similar challenges.

Conclusion

The case study at Ramuta Farm demonstrates the effectiveness of Pulcap in combating red poultry mites, affirming its potential as a solution for enhancing production conditions and health in poultry operations.
