Article Synopsis
- The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a major pest affecting egg-laying hens worldwide, necessitating better pest control methods.
- A new model has been developed to forecast the population dynamics of these mites in hen facilities, taking into account factors like temperature and flock age.
- This dynamic adaptive model (DAP) can help farmers implement advanced Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies by predicting treatment effects and accommodating variabilities in different conditions.
