Preliminary screening on the efficacy of kakawate (Gliricidia sepium) and alagaw (Prema odorata) against poultry lice (Gonoides dissimilis)
Cadag, M.C.Z. | Mateo, C.D. (Sorsogon National High School, Sorsogon (Philippines))
As expected, the birds given the reference drug coumaphos (Asuntol) had a 100 percent efficacy in controlling chicken lice. The alagaw extract (Treatment 1) gave a promising response compared to the other preparations. The response to the kakawate extract (Treatment 3) although lower in efficacy compared to the alagaw extract, the difference may not be significant. The powder form of application of both medicinal plants was not as effective as the decoction applied as spray. Based on this preliminary screening, it could be concluded that both alagaw and kakawate exhibited some promise as potential insecticide for poultry. However, further trials, using a larger population of experimental animals should be conducted to establish the efficacy of both medicinal plants against poultry lice
