Mazanna M. Swine esophagostomosis of the south-eastern region of Ukraine (epizootology and control measures)

The peculiarities of the epizootic situation with esophagostomosis in the pigs on the specialized and household farms in the conditions of the south-eastern region of Ukraine, in particular, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been presented in the dissertation. The analysis of the age and seasonal dynamics has been carried out, the role of the insects of the Muscidae family in the contamination of the environment and the spread of the invasion among the pigs on the unfavorable farms have been investigated. The gel-like form of a new anti-parasitic drug «Avervet» has been developed and proposed for the use in pig-breeding. In addition to that, the technology of the above drug production has been substantiated, the pharmacological and toxicological properties of the drug have been studied and the effective dose to be used for the pigs under production conditions has been experimentally determined. The existing system of the treatment and prevention measures has been improved to control esophagostomosis invasion in pigs successfully.
