EPIZOOTIC SITUATION ON TREMATODES OF MARALS IN THE ALTAI REGION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN ANTI-TREMATODE DRUG IN PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE

Altai Region has always been and remains a region of developed animal husbandry. Velvet antler industry is an integral part of it. It specializes in the breeding of marals and sika deer. One of the main problems encountered in maral breeding is the infection of animals with helminths. The resistance of helminths to various environmental conditions without loss of invasiveness, as well as anthelmintic treatments is carried out, as a rule, with the same drugs from the group of macrocyclic lactones. They do not have a sufficient destructive effect on the causative agents of parasitic diseases (in particular, on trematodes) and promote helminths circulation and their distribution. In this regard, we set a goal: to analyze the epizootic situation in terms of trematodes of marals in the farms of the Altai Region and to study the effectiveness of the antiparasitic action of the drug Santel 10%. In the course of clarifying the epizootic situation on trematodosis of marals in the main maral breeding areas of the Altai Region, it was established that this group is currently represented by the causative agent of dicroceliosis. In general, over the period of research, the invasion of marals by the causative agent of dicroceliosis tended to slightly decrease in terms of the extent of invasion - by 20%. An experiment in the study of the anti-trematode efficacy of the drug Santel 10% by OOO VIK-Animal Health (Russia), was carried out on stag beetles in the Altai Territory of the Altai Region. As a result of production experience on the use of the drug Santel 10% on spontaneously infested marals, it was revealed that the drug is effective against dicrocelia, in particular, in terms of intensity efficiency, which was 84.5% with an intensity efficiency of 40%.
