This research aimed to investigate effects of using leaves of Noni or Indian mulberry (Morinda citrifolia L) with wood vinegar to eliminate lice in beef cattle. This research was conducted using a Completely Randomize Design CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. There were four treatments, T1 : used 50 grams of indian mulberry leaves with 50 ml of water, T2 : used 50 grams of indian mulberry leaves with 50 ml of wood vinegar, T3 : used 50 grams of indian mulberry leaves with 100 ml of wood vinegar and T4 : used 50 ml of wood vinegar. Four hundred lice with an average body length of 1-2.5 millimeters were used in this experiment. The solutions were sprayed directly on the lice. The results showed that in the T3, lice had the highest mortality rate at 62 percent. The mortality rates of T1, T2 and T4 were 40, 32 and 11 percent, respectively. As for the duration of lice mortality, the lice in T3 began to die after spraying the solution from 10 to 20 minutes and had a high mortality rate from 51 to 80 minutes after spraying. Therefore, 50 g of indian mulberry leaves with 100 ml of wood vinegar was the best ratio of the solution to use for lice elimination
