Abstract
Cattle tick is an external parasite that causes diseases and harms to the health of cows. This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of sugarcane leaf extracts against the cattle tick. Sugarcane leaves were extracted using acetone and ethanol extraction. Crude extracts with three concentrations of 300, 600, and 1,200 micrograms per milliliter were used in the experiment. The death rate of ticks within 48 hours and the propagation index within 15 days showed that crude extract at 1,200 micrograms per milliliter was the best concentration to kill the ticks when compared to the control group and other concentration (P < 0.05 ). The mortality rate, spawning index and the percentage of reproductive inhibition were 75 %, 0.12, and 52%, respectively. The negative control group adding with polyethylene glycol (PEG, phenolic inhibitor) yielded 0% of mortality rate. The median concentration of toxicity (Leathal Concentration 50: LC50) of sugarcane leaf
extract was 1,000 µg/ ml. In conclusion, phenolic crude extract from sugarcane leaf was effective
against cattle ticks and could be used as a biological agent for the prevention and control of ticks.
