herbal medicine to protect animals from insects

1. KEETGUARD
HERBAL ECTOPARASITIDAL AND
EFFECTIVE FLY REPELLENT

2. FLIES AND MIDGES ARE A NUISANCE TO ANIMAL HEALTH
Most common ectoparasite of animals are:-
•
•
•
•
•
Flies ( Diptera)
Lice (Phthiraptera)
Fleas (Siphonaptera)
Ticks (Ixodes)
Mites (Acarina)

3. SOME OF THE COMMON FLIES THAT ARE ECTOPARASITES

4. TICKS ARE COMMON ECTOPARASITES OF CATTLE

5. Life cycle of a fly and how it affects cattle

6. DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ECTOPARASITES
FLIES AND
TICKS

TOXICOSIS

ANIMAL
PRODUCTION
ARTHROPOD
BORNE
DISEASES

7. Contd..
• Ectoparasites infect by two ways primarily by
removal of blood, damage to tissues as well as by
stimulating immune response and inflammatory
response.
• Secondly ectoparasites acts as vectors for
pathogens (babesiosis,ehrlichiosis,filariosis,louping
ill,lyme disease and many more)

8. What are available options to control Ectoparasites
• Pyrethroids
• Organophosphates
• Cypermethrin
• Ivermectin

9. Limitation of current approach
• Dangerous to both animals and human handlers
• Residues remain in environment
• Resistance develops as a result every year more
stronger insecticides are required
• Food Safety is a concern because of the chemical
compounds that may enter food chain.
• More costly for the farmer.

10. Introducing… Keetguard
Better and safe
way to control
ectoparasites…
.

11. Actions
FLY REPELLANT
INSECTICIDAL
KEETGUARD
LARVICIDAL

12. Mechanism of Multipronged action of Keetguard
ADULT
FLY
KEETGUARD
EGG
PUPA
LARVA

13. Why it is better
• It is made of herbs so it is completely safe.
• It doesn’t leave deleterious residues.
• Resistance doesn’t develop against Keetguard.
• It has multipronged action it kills eggs, larva, pupa,
and adult so it is very effective.

14. Usage
• Dilute 1 part Keetguard with 40 parts water and use
in barn or spray in animal premises.
• For effective control apply/spray Keetguard twice a
week.
• In severe conditions, apply/spray regularly once
daily for one week followed by twice per week and
keep Keetguard applied on body for 18-24 hrs
before giving bath.

15. Pack and Presentation

16. HERBS PRESENT IN KEETGUARD
Cedrus Deodara : Antimicrobial , anti
inflammatory , useful in Phycomycosis and
mange.
Eucalyptus Globulus : Anti
inflammatory, carminative ,digestive,
antibacterial, expectorant

17. ContdPinus Longifolia : Larvicidal and

19. To study efficacy of Keetguard liquid (herbal
ectoparasiticidal & fly repellent) in natural cases of
ectoparasitic infestation in ruminants
Dr. Pratibha Jumde, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Veterinary
Parasitology, Nagpur Veterinary college, NVC, MAFSU, Nagpur,
Maharashtra.

20. RESEARCH DESIGN
24 (n=24) heavily infested non descript cattle with
Boophilus ticks were selected.
GROUP A(6n)
GROUP B (6n)
GROUP C(6n)
GROUP D(6n)
Each group of animals was kept as control for specific
period of time and thereafter they were treated with
Keetgaurd Liquid as per the prescription.

21. PARAMETERS STUDIED
• Ectoparasite ( Ticks) counts/intensity before and
after treatment was compared.
• The protection period against reinfestation in
treated group.
• Reproductive potential such as preoviposition and
oviposition periods

22. No of adult ticks died after treatment

23. Comments
• The percent efficacy of Keetguard liquid on adult stages of
ticks of non descript cattle was found 100% at 24 hours of
treatment. The product shows 100 percent efficacy on tick
infestation with no side effects of the product was observed.
• The reinfestation time noted on the same animals was 45
days. This may be due to mixed grazing, common pasture
land, sharing of huts, sheds etc, with ectoparasitic load.
