New complex specimen for treatment of calves suffering from eimeriosis and nematodosis
The paper explores parasitic diseases of calves and young cattle in the Republic of Belarus and finds out that they are mainly revealed as parasitocenosis with great diversity of followers. The agents of gastrointestinal parasitocenosis and the degree of infestation by them are closely related with the age of an animal. Associative parasitosis was observed in calves aged 2 months. The authors designed the composition of complex specimen Viracoccha, which includes modern anticoccidial, anthelmintic, organic acids and tocopherol acetate. This concentration allows to treat animals from parasitic protozoa and helminthes and protect their immune system. When exploring acute and chronic toxicity of new complex specimen Viracoccha, the authors highlight that it does not cause any deviations from the physiological norm in clinical condition in mice and according to GOST 12.1.007-76 Harmful substances belong to the 4th class of hazard (low hazard substances), it does not spoil the skin of laboratory animals and does not have sensitizing (allergenic) ability, it does not cause intoxication and any deviations from the physiological norm in rabbits which receive specimen as preventive specimen and 3 times exceeding dose. The effect of Viracoccha dosed 100 mg/kg of live weight in the associative infestation (Strongyloides+ Eimeria) of calves was 100%.
