Parasites & pests
Investigation and management guidance for internal parasites, mites, lice and environmental persistence.
Service overview
Start with the question.
Build the right next step.
Every farm, animal and situation is different. These sections provide a useful starting point; the veterinarian will tailor recommendations to the case in front of us.
01What this service covers
Investigation of external parasites such as mites and lice and internal parasites such as roundworms or coccidia, together with the housing and environmental factors that allow reinfection.
02When to contact us
Call for itching, feather damage, visible insects or eggs, pale combs, weight loss, diarrhea, reduced laying, poor growth or repeated parasite problems. Night-time coop checks can be useful because some mites hide during the day.
03What to expect
We identify the likely parasite through examination and appropriate samples rather than treating blindly. The plan addresses both birds and environment, product suitability for food animals, egg or meat withdrawal requirements and follow-up testing when needed.
