NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2024 Deltavit offers innovative solutions for poultry mites with Acari Red mites are ubiquitous parasites in poultry farming, with serious consequences for hen comfort and farm profitability. It is estimated that 83% of poultry farms are infested in Europe, with an estimated cost of €360 million for the poultry industry. Deltavit, one of the firms that specialise in animal nutrition and health, announced its Acari® program, a new tool that support natural solutions for best effectiveness in the management of poultry mites. The company states that its Acari® range is evolving to offer an even more innovative and cost-effective approach to managing mite problems in poultry farming. The launch of Acari®tool, a new digital tool for farm monitoring, adds a new dimension to the Acari® program. This tool provides each farmer with the information they need to adjust the use of the program's products to suit the specific situation of their farm. According to the company, these products are real levers for controlling the poultry red mites population: - A nutritional product based on plants and aromatic substances (Acariflash®) to act at hen level, - And a product for the farm environment (Acaritec) to act at building level. "The impact of mites on hen behaviour and laying performance is linked to the level of infestation," highlighted Guillaume Piquet, Deltavit Product Manager. "It deals with guiding the farmer towards the most rational use of products in economic terms, with no rest for the poultry red mites”. Deltavit notes that this approach has proved its effectiveness in various contexts, particularly in terms of egg-laying performance (laying rate, rate of downgraded eggs).
