Effectiveness of the drug niklomek against nematodes and cestodes of the gastrointestinal tract in sheep

Abstract

When parasitizing helminths in the digestive tract of small cattle, often accompanied by a subclinical course of the disease, dramatically reduces the anabolism of muscle protein, which is ultimately one of the main causes of meat losses. In the farms of the Stavropol Territory, helminthiases (nematodes and cestodoses) restrain the intensive development of fine-fleeced sheep breeding with coverage of infection of animals to 100%. The article presents the results of studies of the effectiveness of the drug for veterinary use of niklomec in nematodes and cestodoses of small horned cattle. The drug was developed by Ltd NVC Agrovetzashchita, the active ingredients include anthelmintics of the group of macrocyclic lactones and salicylanilides. The research was carried out on the basis of the experimental station All-Russian Research Institute of Sheep and Goat Industry, a branch of the North Caucasian Scientific Agrarian Center (Tsimlyansky, Shpakovsky district, Stavropol Territory). Coproovoscopic studies of sheep feces were carried out before and 10 days after application of the preparation. The drug niklomek in a dose of 1ml of a suspension per 10 kg according to the results of coprological studies showed against intestinal nematodes in sheep an intensiveness-efficiency of 96.7% and extensiveness of 70%, and against monies-100% efficiency.
