Monizen fortefor lambs parasitic diseases

Abstract

The Monizen Forte test for parasitic sheep diseases was tested under production conditions on 460 lambs of the North Caucasian breed, with a live weight of 25-30 kg, with high infection with nematodes, cestodes and larvae of the nasopharyngeal gadfly (Oestrus ovis), which were given orally in a mixture with half the normal rate of concentrated feed, the test drug in a dose of 1 ml per 20 kg of the animal weight. Experienced (20 animals) and control (10 animals) groups of lambs with an average live weight of 28 kg were selected from these lambs according to the principle of analogues. To the lambs of the control group, the drug was not given. 10 days after administration of the drug by clinical and coprological studies, it was found that the lambs of the experimental group, the intensity of nematode invasion decreased and the drug’s intensity (IE) was 96.7%, and the extensivity (EE) was 95%. The lambs of the experimental group before the introduction of the drug were 40% invaded with moniesia and 50% dictiocauli, and after using Monizen Forte they were released - the extensibility (EE) was 100%. Lambs of the control (untreated) group, the intensity and extent of infection with nematodes and cestodes remained at the same level as at the beginning of the experiment. All 10 lambs (50%) of the experimental group, the clinical signs of estrosis (sneezing, snorting, serousmucous discharge from the nose) disap peared, and the lambs of the control group have these clinical signs persisted.
