Prevalence And Chemotherapy Of Mites Infestation In Sheep In Tehsil Bhag Of District Bolan - 2016. - 45p.;
Estimated population of sheep in Pakistan is 27.8 million. Balochistan is the largest province which comprises 44 percent of the total area of Pakistan and only 4.9% of entire population of the country. Share of Livestock in Agriculture is 55%, 11.4% of National GDP of Pakistan and more than 47% in the economy of Balochistan. In between the Chelicerates, (mites and ticks) characterize the biggest and most wide taxon, with a valued 0.5–1 million species. More then 48,000 species defined (Halliday et al., 2000). Mange is a contagious disease showing signs like crusty, dermatitis and loss of hairs. Almost 50 mites species having 16 families and 26 genera responsible for mange where all the main mite species having the orders of Astigmata and Prostigmata. Bolan district is situated in the center of Balochistan province of Pakistan Population estimate 640,000 (2005). Bolan district is administratively subdivided into six tehsils viz Bhag, Dhadar, Machh, Sani, Khattan. The present study was carried out in tehsil Bhag. Latitude 29.0415, longitude 67.8239, Altitude 88 meters above the sea level. 1442 square kilometer of Tehsil Bhag. Mean rainfall is 209.9 mm, range of temperature (Avg) is between 40.6°C and 14.58°C. Four distinct breeds of sheep found in Balochistan are Balochi, Bibrik, Harnai, Rakhshani.
A total of 200 sheep were randomly selected to study the prevalence of mites’ infestation. Skin scraping technique was used. For chemotherapy 30 sheep positive for mange mites through skin scraping test were randomly selected and divided into 3 groups of viz A, B, C. Each group contain 10 number of sheep. Sheep’s in group A were injected Ivermectin at 0.2mg/kg bwt subcut while the animals in group B, were treated with Trichloroforn in the form of 0.15% solution as topical application. The members in group C were treated topicaly with aqueous

extract of Nicotiana Tobacum (tobacco). Treatment were done on day zero and repeated on day 15. The sheep in each group were examined in routinely and samples of skin scraping were collected at day 0, 7, 14 and 28 days (Habib et al., 2009). The effectiveness of particular treatment was estimated on the basis of reduction of clinical sign and negative skin scraping.
200 sheep of different breed, age, sex and areas were examined. 30/200 (15%) sheep were found positive for mange mites infestation. Mites infestation was noticed high in male sheep (16%) as compare to female sheep (14%). According to Breed Balochi sheep breed was noticed highly positive (22%) for mange mites infestation. Area wise prevalence was witnessed high in union council Bhag (25%). Mostly effective drug observed for mites infestation was Ivermectin with 90% efficacy at day 28 in conclusion mange mites infestation in sheep at Bhag tehsil of Dist Bolan and Ivermectin is the best effective drug for mange mites into the following in order by Seguvan and Nicotiana Tobaccum.
