The procedure refers to veterinary medicine, particularly parasitology, and can be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of ectoparasites in pheasants from various natural and anthropized biotopes. This procedure involves treating pheasants by spraying them with the Ectogalimol 5% preparation – a 5% aqueous solution of natural extract obtained by hydroalcoholic extraction from the aerial parts of Dalmatian chamomile (Pyrethrum cinerariifolium Trev.), followed by drying, at a dose of 50 ml per pheasant. For diagnostic and prophylactic purposes, the treatment is carried out in one session, while for therapeutic purposes, it is performed in two sessions with a 14-day interval. It has been found that the Ectogalimol 5% preparation possesses high therapeutic efficacy against various species of ectoparasites in pheasants from the following families: Family Philopteridae (Cuclotogaster cinereus, Cuclotogaster heterographus, Goniocotes chrysocephalus, Goniocotes microthorax, Goniodes colchici, Goniodes dissimilis, Lipeurus caponis); Family Menoponidae (Amyrsidea perdicis, Menacanthus stramineus, Menopon gallinae); Family Ceratophyllidae (Ceratophylus gallinae, Ceratophylus hirundinis); and Family Dermanyssidae (Dermanyssus gallinae, Dermanyssus hirundinis). The clinical condition of the pheasants improved after treatment, the birds became calmer, and their appetite and behavior increased.
