Abstract: | Poultry lice are notorious ectoparasites that pose significant challenges to the
health and productivity of poultry, thereby affecting their economic value. This
study aimed to investigate the diversity, prevalence, and degree of infestation of
chewing lice in five different bird species: domestic chicken (Gallus gallus
domesticus), turkey (Meleagris gallapavo), fantail pigeon (Columba livia
domestica), swan geese (Anser cygnoides), and Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata).
Specimens were collected from various body regions and identified using
established identification keys. The results revealed the presence of Menacanthus
and Menopon genera in chickens and turkeys, exclusive presence of Lipeurus in
chickens, Anaticola in Muscovy ducks and swan geese, Colpocephalum in fantail
pigeons and swan geese, Columbicola and Campanulotes exclusively in fantail
pigeons, and Holomenopon exclusively in swan geese. The prevalence of lice
infestation was determined, with all bird species exhibiting a 100% prevalence,
except for Muscovy ducks, which showed a prevalence of 40%. The study
highlighted the challenges in identifying poultry lice at the species level due to the
unavailability of identification keys, leading to incomplete identification results.
Moreover, farmers need to be aware of the detrimental effects of chronic lice
infestations on poultry health and productivity Kutu unggas merupakan ektoparasit yang menyebabkan gangguan terhadap kesehatan dan produktivitas unggas, sehingga mempengaruhi nilai ekonomi komoditi unggas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman spesies, prevalensi, dan tingkat infestasi kutu pada lima spesies burung yang berbeda, yaitu ayam ras (Gallus gallus domesticus), kalkun (Meleagris gallapavo), merpati kipas (Columba livia domestica), angsa (Anser cygnoides), dan entog (Cairina moschata). Sampel kutu diambil dari berbagai bagian tubuh unggas dan diidentifikasi menggunakan kunci identifikasi morfologi. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan keberadaan genus Menacanthus dan Menopon pada ayam dan kalkun, dan keberadaan eksklusif Lipeurus pada ayam. Kutu Anaticola pada entog dan angsa, Colpocephalum pada merpati kipas dan angsa, Columbicola dan Campanulotes secara eksklusif pada merpati kipas, serta Holomenopon secara eksklusif pada angsa. Infestasi kutu pada semua jenis unggas menunjukkan prevalensi 100%, kecuali pada entog dengan prevalensi 40%. Ketidaktersediaan kunci identifikasi kutu unggas sampai tingkat spesies, menjadikan hasil identifikasi tidak lengkap. Hasil penelitian menunkjukkan bahwa peternak harus berwaspada tentang dampak infestasi kutu yang kronis dan merugikan |
