PAS_1	"Perumal Koundar solve problem of ectoparasite infestation in animal. Details In order to control mites and ticks infestation of cattle, a slurry is made out of tank silt also known as ‘Karambaiman’ and one kg of pounded ‘usila’ leaves (Albizia amara). The solution is smeared all over the body of the animal. The animal is then made to stand in the sun for a few hours, after which it is given a bath.
