Abstract

Forty four sheep of Egyptian native breed were used to assess the effect of some available acaricides in eradicating sarcoptic mange in naturally infested sheep. Animals were randomly allocated into 4 groups (11 animals each); the first group was treated with dorametin® , the second was treated with ivomec® pour - on and third was treated with permethrin® while forth group was left as control. Skin scrapings were taken from the affected lesions and counted per field using light microscopy at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days after treatment. The results revealed that doramectin® was 100% effective in eliminating sarcoptic mites from infested animals 14 days after treatment, ivomec® was 92.53% effective, while permethrin® was 74.33% effective after the same period. The mean total RBCs, total & differential WBCs counts, PCV, MCV, Hb levels were significantly lower in infested Sheep. At the same time, the biochemical parameters were significantly lower in infested animals and all the haematological and biochemical parameters were considerably improved after treatment.
