COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT ANTHELMINTICS IN CATTLE DICROCELIOSIS
The article discusses the comparative effectiveness of different anthelmintics in dicroceliosis of cattle. Dicroceliosis is a widespread helminthiasis caused by the trematode Dicrocoelium lanceatum from the family Dicrocoeiidae, parasitic in the bile ducts of the liver and gallbladder in more than 70 species of domestic and wild animals. Mainly ruminants get infected. Dicroceliosis of cattle in different regions of Russia is widespread everywhere, including in the Middle Urals, in the Tyumen Region, in the Republic of Bashkortostan, in the Republic of Tatarstan, in the Republic of Kazakhstan. And it is especially widespread in the North Caucasus. A significant number of cattle and sheep are infected with Dicroceliosis in the Rostov Region, in some farms the extent of the invasion reaches up to 80-100%. Animals are most intensively infected in the pasture in spring and autumn, reaching the peak of invasion in winter. The disease was registered in 31 districts of the Rostov Region, and this is 70% of pasture area with apparent focality. In connection with the above, one of the objectives of our research was to study the comparative effectiveness of various anthelmintics in dicroceliosis of cattle, such as Alben, Fascocide, Panacur. The analysis of the results showed that panacur 22.2% (3.5 g / 100 kg orally with feed) has a high anthelmintic effect against mature dicrocelia.
