Antihistamine drops
The demodex mite, with vigorous activity, can cause the development of allergic manifestations. To treat unpleasant symptoms, doctors prescribe Ocumetil or Dexamethasone.

Demodectic mange is a disease that requires long and persistent therapy. If all the conditions are met, it is possible to get rid of the disease in two to three months. With severe lesions, surgery is prescribed.
Lice and ticks
The mite larvae located on the feathers of chickens are easily transferred by the wind to other surfaces. This can be a farm worker's clothing, pet hair, cattle, etc.
In chickens, ticks and lice do not appear immediately - usually from the moment of infection it takes from several weeks to one month (this is due to the peculiarities of the insect life cycle). The progression of the disease is accompanied by the appearance of irritation on the skin, constant itching, impaired appetite, and constant anxiety.
Only after such measures are taken, the next stage begins - the treatment of the chicken coop.
The chicken coop is treated with pesticides, for example: synthetic pyrethroids, organophosphorus compounds, carbamate and pyrethroid insecticides.
Under a ban for processing a chicken coop are funds that contain a chlorinated hydrocarbon, since it has a bad effect on chicken eggs.
Helminths in chickens
Treatment of laying hens involves the use of mainly two drugs. The first of them in popularity is flubenvet (Latin transcription Flubenvet). The powdery preparation is mixed into the compound feed. The treatment lasts for seven days, during which the birds consume 3 grams of medicine per 1 kilogram of feed every day. Such measures should be applied at least once a month.
The basis of the action of ivermectin is a paralytic effect on larvae and adults of helminths, due to which they lose their orientation in space, are no longer able to move, reproduce and feed. Within one to two days, helminths are excreted from the body along with feces.
And finally, the third option is treatment with Harka-mectin. Its effect is similar to that of the previous drug, since the drug is one third of invermectin.
