IMPROVEMENT OF TREATMENT-PROPHYLACTIC MEASURES DURING INFECTIOUS RHINOTRACHEITIS OF CATTLE

Abstract

This article presents materials about improving treatment and prevention measures of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis. This work was carried out on the basis of a dairy farm of one of the farms in Zhytomyr region, which is not favorable for infectious rhinotracheitis. We have conducted a study of the effectiveness of symptomatic treatment of newborn calves in rhinotracheitis. It was experimentally found that for calves the scheme which provides for the first day of a disease of introduction of immunoglobulins in colostrum when using the preparation Gamavit Bio (the composition includes tetracycline hydrochloride, immunoglobulin of cattle, retinol acetate, Vitamin E, excipients Vitamin D3, calcium gluconate, hydrogen disodium phosphate and glucose) at a rate of 25 grams per 200 ml of drinking water, which is added to colostrum and fed to the calf. In addition, the drug was administered intramuscularly with 1 ml per 50 kg of body weight once a day (the active substances were ceftiofur hydrochloride and ketoprofen) for 5 days. Multivitamin (vitamins A, D3, E, B1, B2, B12, Nicotinamide, D – panthenol) was also administered to the sick calves at a dose of 5 ml intramuscularly. Subcutaneously, the calves were administered subcutaneously to 5 ml three times at intervals of 3 days. In addition, daily for 5 days, subcutaneously injected 40 ml of enerholit (including glucose, sorbitol, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, arginine , glutamic acid, lysine, methionine, filler up to 1 ml). In the other groups, amoxicillin was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 1 ml per 10 kg once daily for 5 days instead of cocephene. Also used a probiotic – "Agrobiobac 1" (which includes: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, thermophilic streptococci) orally at a dose of 50 ml for 3-5 days of treatment. The most effective treatment regimen for infectious rhinotracheitis in newborn calves is the use of cocephene, cotazal, enerholit, Agrobiobac 1, and gamavit-bio once a day for 5 days.
