Bill Vaughn: MSD Animal Health Launches EXZOLT for Treatment of Red Mites in Poultry

MSD Animal Health has a red mite solution. EXZOLT® is a new treatment recently launched in the EU for the treatment for poultry red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae), according to Bill Vaughn, director of global marketing with MSD Animal Health. "It is a fantastic breakthrough new product that offers a lot of different benefits for the producers that use it because up to this time, there has not been a product that has been really effective over the long term for treating red mites and controlling the problem until Exzolt," said Vaughn. "It is extremely effective; it works in a very short period of time. It's also very easy to use for the producer and easy on the chickens as well." The product is delivered through the water system, then repeated seven days later. The treatment is delivered twice to cover the full lifecycle of the mites and to completely eliminate mites from the poultry barn.
