- W2012477085 abstract "Poultry farms in India have been found to be heavily infested with the cosmopolitan house rat, Rattus rattus L. and occasionally with the house mouse, Mus musculus L. and the lesser bandicoot, Bandicota bengalensis (Gray). These rodents cause damage to eggs (average 5·25 1000−1 eggs), egg trays, gunny bags, poultry feed and poultry house structures. Samples of the floor scracth showed 2·7% contaminated with rat hairs and 4·6% with pellets. Similarly, 3·3% of samples of poultry feed from godowns and 0·4% from feeders had signs of rodent contamination. In the poultry farms the rodents showed their maximum activity in feed gadowns. In the poultry houses, R. rattus were frequently found on the overhead structures. The results of trapping rodents with sliding-door cumulative catch-type traps showed a positive correlation between pre-treatment activity census and post-treatment percentage reduction. Success of trapping decreased with decreasing pre-treatment rodent activity. Data revealed that some trap-shy indivuduals persisted in the poultry farms. For poison baiting, specially designed bait boxes 33 × 23 × 23 cm each with three 10 cm long side tunnels 6-6·5 cm in diameter, have been found highly effective in attracting a large number of rodents to the baits. Baits prepared from cereal flour and fine grains like millet were found suitable to prevent any spillage. Poisoning of rodents with 2·4% zinc phosphide and 0·005% brodifacoum and bromadiolone baits resulted in an 80·8–97% reduction in census bait taken and 100% in track marking activity in the case of zinc phosphide. However, on two separate farms, 88·8 and 92·8% control success could be achieved with two treatments of brodifacoum at 15 day intervals and zinc phosphide at 54 day intervals respectively. In these cases, single treatments were insufficient. With zinc phosphide baiting, dead rats were found within 24 hours and their number varied from 1·4 to 5·4 bait container−1 day−1. With the anticoagulant poisons most of the rats died out of sight and a search was needed to avoid any unhygienic conditions due to their decomposing carcasses. Occasionally the chicks pecked at the hairs and skin of dead rats but this did not result in any secondary poisoning." @default.
