| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of essential oils from makwaen, peppermint, and eucalyptus on cattle tick (R. microplus) control using the in vitro Adult Immersion Test (AIT) method, measuring the percentage of mortality and egg-laying inhibition over 14 days. A total of 150 adult ticks were divided into 5 groups, with 3 replications of 10 ticks each. The groups were as follows: negative control (essential oil dilution solution), positive control (commercial insecticide; Ecto-tak®), makwaen essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and eucalyptus essential oil, all at a concentration of 8%. The results showed that makwaen, peppermint, and eucalyptus essential oils had statistically significant effects on the percentage of cattle tick mortality (p<0.05). makwaen essential oil had the highest percentage of tick mortality at 100% on day 7, followed by peppermint essential oil, which achieved 100% tick mortality on day 14. However, eucalyptus essential oil, the negative control, and the positive control affected tick mortality rates over more than 14 days. The study also found that the essential oils of makwaen and peppermint had the highest percentage of tick egg-laying inhibition, at 100%, which was significantly different (p<0.05). The study concludes that the essential oils of makwaen are effective in causing tick death and can inhibit tick egg-laying as well as commercial insecticides. Essential oils from herbs can be applied to control and eliminate cattle ticks. They have low environmental residues, do not harm users, and can be used in organic animal production in the future. |
