| Abstract | ||
| In this study, thirty Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) with Knemidocoptes pilae infection were treated with three ointments in different concentrations prepared from Calvatia craniiformis mushroom in comparison with common antiparasitic drug promectine locally. Each concentration (0.12.5, 0. 25 and 0.5)% was applied to 5 Budgerigars from the first group each 72 hours at 12 days intervals. Also the promectine was injected subcutaneously twice to 15 Budgerigars(second group) at 12 intervals. Clinical signs in all birds of both groups disappeared at 13-35 days after treatment. The 0.5% was significantly different at (p <0.05) from other concentrations when compared with promectine. No side effects were seen. | ||
