More Information
Summary:Mange mites, is a common dermatological problem in goats and mostly caused by Psoroptes ovis, Chorioptes ovis and Sarcoptes scabiei. however, in the present study Sarcoptes scabiei and Psoroptes ovis were identified. Disease is prevalent in cold weather and spread slowly during summer months and causes significant economic losses due to ill health and morbidity. The goats were treated with ivermectin and showed a sign of healing within two weeks post-treatment. Scratching and uneasiness almost subsided. The crusts and scabs disappeared from the infected areas. One month later all the infested goats were completely free from mange mites with normal skin and fresh hair growth.
