| Abstract | Chicken lice (Lipeurus caponisL.) areexternal parasite of chickenand farmers often use malathion andcarbaryl insecticides to control this parasite. However, the use of chemical insecticides may result in direct toxicity to chicken or contamination in chicken meats. Thus, this study investigated the effect of seven plant essential oils (EOs) against adultchicken lice. Contact bioassay was performed by laying 10 adult chicken lice on treated filter paper added with EOs atconcentrations of 0 (95% ethanol as a control), 0.079, 0.157, 0.236 and0.314 ?l?cm-2. Mortality percentages were observedat 3, 6 and 12 h intervals after the treatments. Clove, cinnamon, turmeric and star anise EOs were able to eliminate the lice completely (100% mortalities) at 12 h exposure which werehigher than lemon grass, citronella grass and piper EOs. Clove EO was the most effective oilwith LC50of 0.132, 0.085 and 0.039?l?cm-2at 3, 6 and 12 h, respectively. Furthermore, clove EO at the 0.157 ?l?cm-2showed the highest mortalities with LT50at 1.438 h. Our study suggests that clove EO could be used as analternative medicinal insecticide to control chicken lice in farms. |
