1. Regular monitoring and inspection of pigs for signs of lice infestation.
2. Quarantine and treat new pigs before introducing them to the existing herd.
3. Maintain good hygiene and cleanliness in pig housing facilities, including regular cleaning and disinfection.
4. Use appropriate insecticides or treatments as recommended by a veterinarian to control lice infestations.
5. Implement integrated pest management strategies, such as rotating treatments and using non-chemical control methods when possible.
6. Provide adequate nutrition and care for pigs to help them maintain a healthy immune system and resist lice infestations.
7. Monitor and treat individual pigs as needed to prevent the spread of lice within the herd.
8. Consult with a veterinarian for guidance on control measures and treatment options for pig lice.

Integrated Control Measures for Pig Louse
1. Environmental Management:
- Maintain clean and dry housing conditions.
- Remove and dispose of manure and bedding regularly.
- Control humidity levels by providing adequate ventilation.
- Isolation of infested animals.
2. Physical Control:
- Manual removal of lice by brushing or handpicking.
- Use of a delouser machine to remove lice and eggs.
- Vacuuming or washing pens and equipment to remove lice and eggs.
3. Chemical Control:
- Insecticides:
- Pour-ons, dips, or sprays containing approved insecticides (e.g., ivermectin, deltamethrin, cypermethrin)
- Follow label instructions carefully and ensure proper dosage and administration.
- Dusts:
- Apply dusts containing insecticides (e.g., carbaryl, coumaphos) to affected areas.
- Avoid inhalation or skin contact with dusts.
4. Biological Control:
- Entomopathogenic fungi: Use of fungi that target and kill lice (e.g., Beauveria bassiana).
- Predators: Introduce predatory insects or mites that feed on lice (e.g., ladybird beetles).
5. Cultural Practices:
- Regular inspections: Monitor pigs for signs of infestation and inspect housing facilities for lice and eggs.
- Treatment of new animals: Quarantine new animals and treat them for lice before introducing them to the herd.
- Vaccination: Use of vaccines that provide partial protection against lice infestation.
6. Integrated Management:
- Combine multiple control measures to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance.
- Rotate insecticides to prevent resistance development.
- Monitor pig health and lice populations to adjust control measures as needed.
Additional Considerations:
- Consult with a veterinarian or pest control professional for specific guidance.
- Follow all safety precautions and wear appropriate protective gear when handling insecticides.
- Properly dispose of used insecticides and equipment according to regulations.
- Avoid overdosing pigs with insecticides, as this can lead to health problems.
- Monitor pigs for adverse reactions to insecticides and seek veterinary assistance if necessary.
