Insect infestations in poultry, including mites, lice, fleas, ticks, and beetles, pose significant health risks that can result in decreased production, chronic illness, and increased mortality. These pests cause direct physical harm through blood feeding and skin irritation, and act as vectors for various bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases.

Insect infestations in poultry, primarily mites, lice, darkling beetles, and flies, cause severe health risks including anemia, skin lesions, and weight loss due to blood-sucking or irritation. They also act as vectors for pathogens like Salmonella**E. coli, and Campylobacter, leading to decreased egg production, reduced feed efficiency, and potential mortality.
