Korchan L. Goats muelleriosis in the area of Forest-steppe of Ukraine (epizootology, diagnostics, treatment)

Data on spreading, seasonal and age dynamics of Muellerius invasion in goats from individual farms of Forest-steppe of Ukraine (on the example of Poltava Oblast) are given in the dissertation. The species composition of intermediate carriers, land mollusks and their Muellerius invasion are found. Developed and patented: a device for faeces samples taking from small cattle, a counting camera for helmintholarvoscopy researches, a method for the quantitative helmintholarvoscopy research, a device for taking the supernatant liquid from test-tubes and sediments resuspending. Pathomorphological changes in lungs of goats with muelleriosis are stated. The bacterial background at muelleriosis in goats is determined. To treat goats muelleriosis 9 antihelminthic drugs were tested: albendazole, fenzol 22 %, fenbendazolvet 5,5 %, rafenzol, brovadazol, Leva 100, levamizole 10 %, promectine ivermecvet 1 %. Based on helminth-coprological, morphological and biochemical examinations of blood and conducted extended researches, the expediency of use of promectine, ivermecvet 1 % and brovadazol at muelleriosis in goats is well-grounded.
