Testing of the low-temperature Smoke generator “SMOK Insect” during deacarization of poultry premises

Abstract

One of the effective ways to deacarize livestock premises is the use of aerosol checkers based on various active substances. This method provides a large coverage area and does not require additional equipment which simplifies its further use unlike the irrigation method. One of these tools is a low-temperature smoke generator "SMOKE insect" developed by LLC "Agrovetzashchita". Cyflutrin – the main active ingredient contained in the composition of the product provides a pronounced contact effect against ectoparasites affecting the nervous system and contributing to further paralysis and death of the insect. The purpose of the research was to test a low-temperature smoke generator "SMOKE insect" during the deacarization of poultry farming premises. For processing, these generators were used containing 40 g of the active active ingredient – cyflutrin. The product was used in the production premises of an egg-type poultry farm. During the tests 4 rooms were involved, each with a volume of 8000 m3. The quality control of deacarization was carried out by monitoring the appearance of a red chicken tick in a poultry house. The observations lasted 9 months. When analyzing the obtained research data it can be concluded that smoke generators showed a high acaricidal effect in the treatment modes of 640 and 960 g. per room with a volume of 8000 m3. With similar efficiency it is advisable to use the "SMOK insect" agent in the processing mode of 640 g. for a room with a volume of 8000 m3 which corresponds to the treatment of 500 m3 with a single smoke generator.
