A Field Experiment on the Scabicide, Naled, for Swine

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with the organic phosphorus scabicide, Naled, in swine. Naled was used at three dilutions: 1: 500 (group A), 1: 1, 000 (group B), and 1: 2, 000 (group C). Each pig was sprayed with 200ml of the dilution twice at a week's interval. Four weeks after spraying mites were not detected in group A or C, though they were detected in one of the 11 pigs of group B and in four of the 5 pigs of the control group.
Cutaneous changes disappeared in eleven of the 12 pigs of group A, seven of group B and in five of the 11 pigs of groups C.
