Combined effects of deltamethrin and T-2 toxin on animals during the use of bentonite

Abstract

This study investigated the combined effects of deltamethrin and T-2 toxin on animals, utilizing bentonite as a prophylactic agent. The research was conducted on white rats, which were orally administered the toxins for 20 consecutive days. Subsequently, clinical, hematological, and biochemical parameters were examined to assess the impact of the toxins on the animals. Based on research results, it has been established that the combined effect of deltamethrin and T-2 toxin with repeated administration is characterized by more severe clinical, hematological and biochemical changes than with separate exposure to toxicants. Accompanied by a decrease in the number of leukocytes, erythrocytes and hemoglobin, a decrease in total protein, glucose and cholinesterase activity. Adding bentonite to the feed as a prophylactic agent at a dose of 2% of the diet has a preventive effect in case of combined poisoning with deltamethrin and T- 2 toxin, and helps to normalize the clinical, hematological and biochemical parameters of animals.
