TREATMENT OF ENTERITIS IN CAGE MANAGED SABLES

Abstract

Sablebreeding is a unique, truly Russian branch of animal husbandry. Sable has always been highly resistant to infectious diseases. But in recent years, cases of enteritis have become more frequent. As a result of monitoring studies, it was found that on animal farms of the Russian Federation, where sable is kept, 60% of all diseases account for enteritis, which causes significant economic damage to farms. Laboratory studies have shown that there are several etiological agents that can cause enteritis in sables, respectively, viral, bacterial and alimentary enteritis are isolated. In this regard, the development of schemes and methods of treatment of sables with enteritis of various etiologies has become relevant. The work was carried out in the "FSBSI NIIPZK " and animal farms where sable is bred. As a result of monitoring and laboratory studies, animals with bacterial, viral and alimentary enteritis were selected. As a result of the conducted research, a scheme for the treatment of bacterial enteritis with complex antibacterial drugs, the treatment of alimentary enteritis with a sorbent was developed and a hyperimmune serum for the treatment of parvovirus enteritis of sables was developed. The antibodies contained in the hyperimmune serum in a high titer make it possible to provide passive immunity. Also, this hyperimmune serum can be used for preventive purposes, for emergency creation of immunity against parvovirus enteritis during epizootics. The proposed treatment regimens will save livestock, thereby reducing economic damage.
