MSD Exzolt Red Mite Treatment For Chickens
Exzoltâ˘: A smarter approach to red mite control
Exzolt⢠represents a highly effective advancement in the control of red mite infestations in poultry. Administered via drinking water, it delivers a systemic solution that works from withinâtargeting mites at the point of feeding.
Unlike traditional topical treatments that act only on the birdâs surface or within the coop environment, Exzolt⢠circulates through the bloodstream. When mites feed, they ingest the active ingredient, resulting in a rapid and substantial reduction in mite populations.
The result is a treatment that is simple to administer, minimises handling stress, and delivers consistent, proven outcomes.
Key benefits
-
Rapid and significant reduction in mite populations, with demonstrated efficacy exceeding 99%
-
Fast-acting results, with activity commencing within hours of administration
-
Two-dose program (seven days apart) aligned to disrupt the mite life cycle
-
Convenient delivery via drinking water at a low dose rate (0.5 mg/kg body weight)
-
Ready-to-use formulation (1% fluralaner) for straightforward measurement and mixing
-
Sustained control of blood-feeding red mites for at least two weeks post-treatment
-
Zero egg withholding period; 14-day withholding period for meat and offal
-
Effective against mite populations resistant to conventional acaricides
-
Well tolerated across layers, pullets, and breeders, with a wide safety margin
Proven welfare outcomes
Red mite infestations are known to significantly impact bird welfare, contributing to chronic stress and behavioural disruption. Research has shown that treatment with Exzolt⢠not only reduces mite burden but also improves stress-related behaviours in affected flocksâboth during peak mite activity at night and throughout the day.
Administration guidelines
Exzolt⢠is designed for ease of use in both small and large flocks:
-
Administer via the first drinking water of the day
-
Add the prescribed dose to clean drinking water
-
Provide sufficient volume for consumption within 4â6 hours
-
Mix gently to avoid foaming
-
Remove alternative water sources during treatment
-
Once consumed, return birds to normal water supply
-
Repeat treatment after seven days to ensure full efficacy
Routine treatment in early spring and late summer is recommended to maintain control.
Dosage and preparation
-
Dose rate: 0.05 mL per kg of body weight
-
As a guide, mix 0.05 mL of Exzolt⢠per kg into 50â100 mL of drinking water
Example:
For a flock totalling 7 kg body weight, administer 0.35 mL of Exzolt⢠in 350â700 mL of water.
Withholding periods
-
Eggs: Zero days
-
Meat & offal: 14 days following the final treatment
Scalable for larger operations
Exzolt⢠is equally suited to commercial-scale flocks. A 50 mL bottle treats up to 5,000 kg of poultry body weight per treatment day. As a two-dose program, this equates to approximately 2,500 birds (at 2 kg each).
Integrated control approach
For optimal outcomes, Exzolt⢠should be used as part of a broader biosecurity and hygiene program. Removing contaminated bedding and treating housing environments with a residual insecticide will help minimise reinfestation risk.
Exzolt⢠provides a reliable, efficient, and welfare-focused solution for managing red mite infestationsâcombining ease of use with industry-leading performance.
