Red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) represent a major challenge in terms of animal health and economic performance. This mite, which prefers the dark of night to feed on the blood of poultry, is not only a source of stress and disease for poultry, but also a significant cause of economic losses for farmers.
SERHEN is a product that helps to manage the red mite population thanks to its repellent action.
Mode of action:
The complete programme combines SERHEN 1 & 2 additive solutions and a red mite population management protocol, with the aim of :
- reduce the red mite population
- reduce stress for animals and farmers by reducing red mite pressure,
- modulate inflammatory reactions,
- maintain the performance of laying hens.
This approach is differentiated according to the pressure of the red mite population.
Proven performance:
Using SERHEN helps optimise performance*:
- Technical:
- A hen without red mite lays an average of 332 eggs a year, whereas a hen in contact with red mite will lay an average of 324 eggs a year (for an average pressure): a loss of 2.41%.
- Economic:
- ROI 1:5 with implementation of the SERHEN concept (Reference: Europe) *
