With Cumbasil Mite® we have developed a bestseller in the field of natural mite protection. Cumbasil Mite® was developed in collaboration with practitioners, technical colleges and the teaching and research institutes for poultry. We are proud that this chemical-free variant for protection against the red bird mite and other ectoparasites is available to animal lovers.

Our special thanks go to Prof. Dr. Mark Boelhauve, Dean of the University of Applied Sciences Südwestfalen . He and his team have scientifically backed up our statements. Our natural, chemical-free dust bath would otherwise have been replaced by "biocide" suppliers.

How does Cumbasil Mite work?

Cumbasil Mite® penetrates deep into the poultry's feathers through the animals' instinctive dust bathing. Contact with Cumbasil Mite severely limits the mite's mobility. The powdered feathers become a natural barrier that prevents the mites from penetrating the skin. The animals also permanently distribute the fine microminerals throughout the entire barn, making it difficult for the mites to move. It is a purely physical mode of action* Cumbasil Mite® has no biocidal properties and can therefore be used directly on the animal. When making your purchase decision, make sure that dust baths have been tested for their biocidal properties if you plan to dust bathe your animals to protect them from parasites.

Scientifically proven effectiveness

We are very pleased with the feedback from our customers on the effectiveness of Cumbasil Mite. It is particularly important for private animal lovers and the many small breeding companies to use as little chemicals as possible in their animals. With Cumbasil Mite® we have achieved this perfectly. So that our customers can be completely sure that Cumbasil Mite® is very effective in controlling mites, we have scientifically verified this effect. With scientific support from the University of Applied Sciences Südwestfalen, Cumbasil Mite® has shown excellent mite control in practical tests. By choosing Cumbasil Mite® you are getting proven effectiveness and safety for your animals!

Effectiveness scientifically proven!

Drier bedding and a better, healthier stable climate

Dry, loose bedding ensures that fewer putrefactive bacteria can settle in the stable. The dust bath with Cumbasil Mite means that the bedding is constantly dusted by the laying hens. This stays drier and the formation of droppings is significantly reduced. The additional surface area of ​​the minerals promotes the colonization of aerobic biology and improves the environment in the bedding. Unpleasant smells caused by putrefactive bacteria are thus reduced. Cumbasil Mite® therefore helps to improve the stable climate for your animals.

Safety for your animals!

The safety of the animals and their owners is a matter close to our hearts. When selecting Cumbasil Mite®, we made sure that the ingredients were well below all relevant limits for feed. It is absolutely safe for the animals to ingest it when brooding. Another important issue is the fine dust pollution caused by nanoparticles. The grain structure of Cumbasil Mite has very good natural adhesive properties. These are extremely important for the mechanical mode of action. Tests at the University of Applied Sciences Südwestfalen* show how Cumbasil Mite is very effective at restricting the movement of the mite. This means that we can easily do without nanoparticles. Compared to other mineral powders, Cumbasil Mite produces significantly less dust. A property that our customers really appreciate when they enter the occupied stable!

About the study

It's that easy

Set up a tub in the animals' stable and then fill it with Cumbasil Mite®. To ensure that the animals can bathe properly, the tub should be at least 5cm high. As soon as the animals start to brood, the fine minerals are distributed throughout the stable and in their plumage. The animals instinctively protect themselves from corner parasites. If the mite pressure in the stable increases, the animals will visit the dust bath more often. Our mite protection has no resistance, promotes the cleaning of the plumage and ensures beautiful plumage.
