KEETGUARD
HERBAL ECTOPARASITIDAL AND EFFECTIVE FLY REPELLENT
FLIES AND MIDGES ARE A NUISANCE TO ANIMAL HEALTH
Most common ectoparasite of animals are:-
• Flies ( Diptera)• Lice (Phthiraptera)• Fleas (Siphonaptera)• Ticks (Ixodes)• Mites (Acarina)
SOME OF THE COMMON FLIES THAT ARE ECTOPARASITES
TICKS ARE COMMON ECTOPARASITES OF CATTLE

PRODUCTION
Contd..
• Ectoparasites infect by two ways primarily by removal of blood, damage to tissues as well as by stimulating immune response and inflammatory response.
• Secondly ectoparasites acts as vectors for pathogens (babesiosis,ehrlichiosis,filariosis,louping ill,lyme disease and many more)
What are available options to control Ectoparasites
• Pyrethroids
• Organophosphates
• Cypermethrin
• Ivermectin
Limitation of current approach
• Dangerous to both animals and human handlers
• Residues remain in environment
• Resistance develops as a result every year more stronger insecticides are required
• Food Safety is a concern because of the chemical compounds that may enter food chain.
• More costly for the farmer.
Introducing… Keetguard
Better and safe way to control ectoparasites….
Actions

Mechanism of Multipronged action of Keetguard

LARVA
KEETGUARD
Why it is better
• It is made of herbs so it is completely safe.
• It doesn’t leave deleterious residues.
• Resistance doesn’t develop against Keetguard.
• It has multipronged action it kills eggs, larva, pupa, and adult so it is very effective.
Usage
• Dilute 1 part Keetguard with 40 parts water and use in barn or spray in animal premises.
• For effective control apply/spray Keetguard twice a week.
• In severe conditions, apply/spray regularly once daily for one week followed by twice per week and keep Keetguard applied on body for 18-24 hrs before giving bath.

To study efficacy of Keetguard liquid (herbal ectoparasiticidal & fly repellent) in natural cases of
ectoparasitic infestation in ruminants
Dr. Pratibha Jumde, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Veterinary Parasitology, Nagpur Veterinary college, NVC, MAFSU, Nagpur, Maharashtra.
RESEARCH DESIGN
24 (n=24) heavily infested non descript cattle with Boophilus ticks were selected.
Each group of animals was kept as control for specific period of time and thereafter they were treated with Keetgaurd Liquid as per the prescription.
GROUP A(6n) GROUP B (6n) GROUP C(6n) GROUP D(6n)
PARAMETERS STUDIED
• Ectoparasite ( Ticks) counts/intensity before and after treatment was compared.
• The protection period against reinfestation in treated group.
• Reproductive potential such as preoviposition and oviposition periods
No of adult ticks died after treatment

Comments
• The percent efficacy of Keetguard liquid on adult stages of ticks of non descript cattle was found 100% at 24 hours of treatment. The product shows 100 percent efficacy on tick infestation with no side effects of the product was observed.
• The reinfestation time noted on the same animals was 45 days. This may be due to mixed grazing, common pasture land, sharing of huts, sheds etc, with ectoparasitic load.
