Quantitative changes in hemogram of bees using probiotic «Enteronormin»
The article considers the main quantitative changes in hemolymph cells under the action of the drug «Enteronormin» when fed with 50% sugar syrup during 10 days compared with the changes in the control group that received only sugar syrup. On the 3rd day, the hemogram of the bees that received the drug did not differ from the bees that received the sugar syrup only. Positive dynamics in the quantitative composition of the hemolymph was observed on the days 7–10. The number of phagocytic cells was 1.38% less than in the control group, and 2.0% of neutrophils less and 0.63–1.13% of eosinophils. The number of secretory cells increased, in particular, gliwocytes by 1.17% and 1.62%, respectively. It is noted that the medication «Enteronormin» has been extended to the extent of 3 days not a positive effect on the immune system of bees. Therefore, the drug «Enteronormin» should be fed for at least 7 days, taking into account the quantitative changes in hemocytes. On the twenty-first day the effect of the drug was preserved. The most appropriate term for drug feeding with the aim of activating the cellular immunity is defined to be 7–10 days.
