L. F.  aAssessment of weight gain and control of parasitism by Rhipicephalus microplus in dairy cattle in the field using organosynthetic parasiticide, phytotherapics and homeopathy.h[electronic resource]  c2021  aThe goal of this research was to compare the effect of the following products on dairy cattle, parasitized by Rhipicephalus microplus: organosynthetics - Clorfenvinfós and Ivermectina (OG); phytotherapics - Eucalyptus oil (EG) and Neem cake (NG); Homeopathy (HG); The control group (CG) received no treatment. Infestation was by R. microplus (MIC) and weight gain (GP) were evaluated. The study included 60 animals (5 groups) from ¾ Dutch / Zebu, aged between 25-44 months and initial weight between 211-477kg. EG and NG showed MIC 84.9% and 14.0% greater than CG, respectively (P &lt0.05; P = 0). HG and OG had MIC less than CG 24.4% and 16.9%, respectively (P&lt0.05; P &lt0.05). EG, NG and OG obtained GP lower than CG in 7.9%, 8.9% and 8.06% (P &lt0.05) respectively. The HG GP was 4.9% higher (P &lt0.05) than CG. This was the first research to prove parasitism control by R. microplus in a field test, using homeopathy. The methodology for choosing Homeopathy for the control of enzooties, developed and tested for the first time in this study, proved to be adequate and efficient, opening the possibility for establishing a new methodology for strategic control of parasitism by R. microplus.  aTicks  aBovino  aCarrapaticida  aCarrapato  aGado Leiteiro  aGanho de Peso  aMedicamento Homeopático  aAlternative control  aControle alternativo  aHomeopathic remedy  aLeite orgânico  aOrganic milk  aTick insecticide1 aPRATA, M.
