Spray to prevent the control of ticks in cattle

Animal Husbandry: Do not offer mineral mixture or calcium to those animals with only 15-20 days left for calving. These animals should be kept separate from other animals in a calm and clean place.

• Seek expert veterinary advice in case an animal faces difficulty in calving. For those animals who constantly fall ill, a blood test should be conducted especially in case of diseases caused by ticks.
• To control ticks and mites, insecticidal sprays can be used like cypermethrin, deltamethrin, amitraz (tactik bath) etc.
