Three recent synthetic pyrethroid compounds viz., Butox, sumitik and Taktie were tried at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 percent concentrations against the disease in both species of animals. It was observed, that all the three drug when applied at 0.1 and 0.2 per cent concentrations, applied five times at three days interval were not successful to eliminate the mites either in goats or sheep. However, all above drugs were effective against these mites, both in goats and sheep at 0.5 per cent concentration, when applied five times at three days interval.
It was concluded that Taktia, 0.5 per cunt was highly effective in goats followed by Butox 0.5 per cent and sumitik 0.5 per cent, in respect of their performance.
In sheep, all the three drugs were equally effective at 0.5 per cent concentration when applied 4 or 5 times at three days interval.
