Contributes to the control of red mite populations

Nor-Mite®

Nor-Oleum

Features

Nor-Mite® is a 100% natural repellent based on essential oils and flavoring compounds that is easy to use. This solution has many advantages such as the absence of residue risk and therefore of withdrawal period.

  • Complementary feed providing flavouring compounds
  • Aromatic repellent via feed or drinking water
  • Contributes to the control of poultry red mite populations
  • Contributes to the control of fly populations (Musca domestica, musca lucilia sericata)
  • 100% natural
  • Can be used in organic farming in Europe

Issues

Red mites are one of the most expensive issues for egg producers. Indeed, this ectoparasite that feeds on the blood of hens is a source of stress and loss of productivity. In addition, problems of resistance to acaricide molecules are very frequent. The possibility to fight it efficiently and preventively with a natural alternative is a consequent strategic asset for breeders.

Flies are also a major source of inconvenience in breeding. Depending on the species, they can be vectors of disease transmission and are just as undesirable for animals as for humans.

Composition

Registered as a complementary feed, Nor-Mite® is formulated with plant extracts such as Eugenia caryophyllus (clove) and Cymbopogon nardus (citronella).
These 100% natural components give the feed repellent properties against several arthropods (including Dermanyssus gallinae and musca domestica).

Trial results

14 trials were conducted to establish the efficacy of Nor-Mite®. Nor-Mite® was incorporated in feed at 500 ppm in these trials, which totaled approximately 487,000 laying hens. 

To estimate red mite pressure, we used cardboard traps positioned in the barn (the number of traps is adjusted according to the number of laying hens) for 24 hours. Then the traps were frozen at -18°C for 72 hours, and the number of red mites in all traps was counted. Red mites counts were performed before the use of Nor-Mite® and 15 days or 35 days after. Results were analyzed by Student’s t test (Graphpad software, 2018).

We observed a decrease in the red mite population between 37% and 88%, with a mean of 73% (p<0.0001).

Usage

Mode of action

  • 1

    Nor-Mite is ingested via drinking water or feed.

  • 2

    After a few days of treatment, the animal excretes itself the repulsive molecules contained in the essential oils.

  • 3

    For red mite, the consumption of hen's blood is essential to reach the adult stage but also to trigger a laying cycle. With Nor-Mite, the hens' smell is modulated and they stop being parasitized by red mites.
