Cinnamomum zeylanicum Essential Oil Reduces Infestation by Alphitobius diaperinus in Poultry Litter

Abstract: Background: Even though insecticides are managed and the period of sanitary emptiness in poultry is respected, the elimination of Alphitobius diaperinus may not be successful. The use of essential oils of plant origin presents as a good alternative in the substitution of insecticides with synthetic molecules, since they are easy to obtain, with rapid degradation and without risk of residues for non-target organisms. The main objective of the present study was to examine whether Cinnamomum zeylanicum oil reduce… Show more

“…Therefore, the development of large populations of A. diaperinus usually incurs significant economic losses (several million US dollars per year) to poultry production to control the outbreaks and repair the damage made to the buildings [ 26 ]. Even though new biological control strategies are developed [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ], the use of chemical insecticides remains the main procedure for controlling populations of A. diaperinus . Depending on the nature of the poultry flock, e.g., chickens or turkeys, insecticides are sprayed every 7–14 weeks to disinfect the walls and litter at each building’s cleanout.…”
