Treatment of Internal Parasitosis of Cattle with a New Dosage Form of Eprinomectin topical form
A study of the therapeutic efficacy of a new dosage form of eprinomectin - Elivec in case of strongylatosis of the gastrointestinal tract of young cattle was conducted on spontaneously infected animals in the Moscow region. Elivec was administered at a dose of 1 ml per 10 kg of animal body weight, once. The main drug was Ganamectin at the recommended dose subcutaneously once. According to the results of scatoscopious studies, after 10 and 30 days all treated animals were free from invasion. In the production test, the effectiveness of Elivec in relation to the strangulation of the gastrointestinal tract of heifers was: EE - 96.7%, IE - 98.86% and Ganamectin EE - 95%, IE - 98.04%. In the course of research, to differentiate invasive larvae of strongylatosis to the genus, 20 samples of feces from young stock were taken, cultivated in a thermostat at 26°C for 10 days. Strongylatosis larvae differed from each other in the number and shape of intestinal cells, as well as in the size of the larvae and their tail end. Invasive larvae of gastrointestinal strongylatosis belonging to the genus Trichostrongylus, Ostertagia and Bunostomum were found in the studied samples.
