Keep on top of blood-sucking red mite

Egg producers across the UK need to be extra vigilant against the red mite as infestations are increasing.

This eight-legged blood-feeding acarine bears more resemblance to a spider than an insect but causes much more than a passing nuisance. As well as attacking hens at night causing stress and anaemia in the birds the mites are implicated in transmitting viral diseases such as Newcastle Disease and Avian Pox virus from infected to uninfected birds.

Red mites distress birds bite production staff and can have a serious negative affect on egg production. If mites and their faeces can be seen on the eggs they have to be washed and will be downgraded.

Producers must act quickly once red mites have been detected as in warm conditions it takes just over a week for mites to develop from egg to adult and therefore start reproducing when populations can increase explosively. If you as an egg producer wait until you see egg spotting before you initiate treatment there will already be an extremely high level of infestation within your poultry shed.

Poultry red mites can be found on several species of wild bird and biosecurity measures such as introducing point of lay pullets guaranteed free of red mite and proofing building against wild birds will help. Further cleaning the buildings between flocks paying particular attention to cracks and crevices in nesting boxes egg conveyors and perches (all areas where mites may rest during the day) are all steps that you can take to help with this problem. In most cases however the use of an effective acaricide is essential if there is to be any hope of control.
