SRISTI

To control tick infestation of cattle they smear fresh dung on the animals. Heavy tick infestations are known to sometimes cause cattle death in this region. It is believed that the fresh cattle dung deters the ticks and keeps them from attacking the animals. Readers may also refer to another interesting practice of controlling ticks by taking cattle to rivers. Fishes in the river eat away the ticks. -Ed.
