FLYBAN
FLYBAN contains Cyromazine 1%, an insect growth regulator that breaks the fly life-cycle at larval stage. Let's understand the fly problem at the poultry farms:
Fly is a problem when it reaches a nuisance level.
|
-
Fly problem is confined to cage system. The target farms are therefore layer farms and breeder farms housing breeders in cages.
-
One adult fly couple produces 76 Billion flies in 6 weeks.
-
The population is controlled by nature itself by limiting the life of adult flies.
-
The life-cycle is completed in 7-10 days and as many as 10-12 generations occur in one summer season.
-
The production is faster than natural destruction and therefore it reaches a nuisance level during hot summer season.
-
85% of fly population in the farm is in the form of larvae and pupae (in manure). Only 15% population is in adult form. The larvicide is therefore a suitable and effective treatment than using pesticide adulticides. Combination of both the programs work
better.
Mode of action of Cyromazine
:
Cyromazine prevents molting of fly larva. Larvae that
fail to molt can not develop into pupae. The larvae die and the life -cycle breaks.
Economic importance of fly nuisance in farms :
-
Increased cost of de-worming- The cage system has been designed to facilitate operations and reduce cost of de-worming. The fly, however, carries parasite eggs and deposits in feeders.
-
Fly specks on light sources (tubes, bulbs) reduce light intensity thereby affecting production.
-
Increased incidence of Flow Cholera, F. Typhoid, Respiratory diseases.
-
High Ammonia formation.
-
Ammonia reduces age of cages.
-
Fly larvae liquefy manure.
-
Fly is nuisance to nearby human population.
Window Treatment Concept:
Most of the insect growth regulators like Cyromazine tend to produce resistance if used more than 42 days continuously in feed. It is therefore essential to initiate Cyromazine treatment only when the fly reaches nuisance level.
Dose : 500gm/ton of feed for 42 days continuously.
