Abstract

This article provides detailed information about the prevalence and seasonal dynamics of ectoparasites found on sheep in farms and households specializing in sheep breeding in the foothill regions of Tashkent province - namely, the Ohangaron, Parkent, and irrigated Qibray districts - as well as about the new effective methods and means used to combat these ectoparasites. As a result of the conducted research, the effects of various concentrations and a 0.05% powder form of the Cypra 20% EC preparation, produced in India, were tested against sheep ectoparasites in the “Kholturayev Oybek XM” sheep-breeding farm in the Ohangaron district, in the “So‘qoq To‘rtko‘l” farm in the Parkent district, and in the households of the “Iqtidor”, “Alisherobod”, “Chingeldi”, and “Haydarobod” neighborhoods of the Qibray district. When applied 5 - 6 times a year against ticks and lice (Bovicola spp.) found on sheep and goats, the preparation led to a sharp reduction and elimination of ectoparasites and ticks on the animals’ bodies. Furthermore, this scientific article notes that infestations by lice (Bovicola spp.) - one of the main entomoses affecting sheep-reach their highest levels during the winter and spring seasons. The degree of sheep infestation with tick-borne diseases (ixodidosis) depends on both air temperature and the cleanliness of the pens where the sheep are kept. The seasonal activity of ixodid ticks is mainly observed when the weather becomes warmer, particularly during the period when sheep are taken to pastures. It was recorded that during this time, sheep are most likely to become infested with ticks.
