Abstract

Present study deals with efficacy of AV/FRC/18 against mite infestation in goats. All the goats were infested with Sarcoptis spp of mites. Per cent efficacy of AV/FRC/18 (Liquid Keetguard™) against mite infestation was recorded and it was found that thrice a week application of 1:20 dilution results in 98% on day 7th and 90% on 30 days post treatment. Lesion scores were also recorded and it was found that on application of AV/FRC/18 thrice a week all the lesions were subsided on day 7 with a lesion score of 1.
