Description

The invention relates to agriculture, namely to veterinary medicine, in particular to a combined method of treating subclinical mastitis with a herbal preparation - calendula and adaptogen - Ligfol.

The fight against mastitis in cows is an urgent problem of veterinary science and practice. According to the International Dairy Association, 2% of cows get sick with a clinical form of mastitis every year, and up to 50% in subclinical. The economic damage caused to dairy cattle breeding consists of more than 12 loss categories. At the same time, the leading place is occupied by a decrease in milk productivity, premature culling of animals, deterioration in the nutritional and technological properties of milk, as well as the costs of diagnosis and treatment.

Currently used drugs for the treatment of subclinical mastitis mostly contain antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, which led to the formation of drug-resistant strains of microorganisms (A.I. Zavrazhnov, L.K. Popov, 1999).

In addition, the unsystematic use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs leads to a decrease in the function of natural defense mechanisms and contributes to the appearance of fungal diseases (V.I. Rubtsov, 1999).

Therefore, in recent years, both in humane and in veterinary medicine, herbal preparations have been widely used to treat various diseases (M.I. Rabinovich, 1981; S.N. Turishchev, 2001).

For the treatment of mastitis in cows, herbal medicine G.N. Kuzmin, (1986); T.M. Borisova (1999); L.K. Popov (1997).

The purpose of this invention is to achieve high therapeutic efficacy in the subclinical form of mastitis in cows by combined treatment with calendula broth in combination with an adaptogenic drug - Ligfol.

The proposed method for the treatment of subclinical mastitis in cows does not have side effects, and the pathogenic microflora does not adapt to it. In addition, under the influence of adaptogen - Ligfola, the mechanisms of the body's natural defense increase, which contributes to a faster recovery.

As therapeutic agents, a calendula and an adaptogenic drug, Ligfol, were chosen.

Calendula (marigolds), for medicinal purposes, mainly flowers or whole flower heads are used. The flowers contain essential oils, carotene, volatile, salicylic and malic acids. Calendula has anti-inflammatory, wound healing and bactericidal properties.

To prepare a medicinal product, 100 g of dried raw material is weighed, poured with 2 liters of hot distilled water and heated for 30 minutes in a boiling water bath. After this, the broth is filtered through sterile cheesecloth into a sterilized dish. The finished product is stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of + 4 ° C for 3 days.

Ligfol is a complex preparation, which includes humic acid obtained by hydrolysis of wood lignin, sodium triphosphate ten-water and demineralized water. The basis of the stress-correcting effects of Ligfol are immunoantioxidant mechanisms, including antiradical activity, mobilization of phagocytes, activation of antioxidant defense and immunocompetent organs. Ligfol increases the body's resistance to adverse environmental influences. Ligfol is used to increase resistance, reduce the negative effects of stress, increase the body's defenses in various diseases in animals.

In the treatment of subclinical mastitis in cows with calendula decoction in combination with Ligfol, the following effects were obtained:

1) anti-inflammatory;

2) bactericidal;

3) immunoxidant:

a) antiradical activity;

b) activation of phagocytes and immunocompetent organs;

c) increasing the resistance of the animal organism to various diseases.

Given the wide range of effects of calendula decoction in combination with Ligfol on the animal organism, it was decided to try this method for the treatment of subclinical mastitis in cows.

In a study of the therapeutic efficacy of calendula broth in combination with Ligfol, 40 cows of patients with subclinical mastitis were selected, which were divided into two groups of 20 each.

The cows of the first group were injected with 10 ml of calendula decoction after evening milking in the sick lobes of the udder. The drug was administered three times with an interval of 24 hours. In addition, cows of the first group were injected intramuscularly once with 5 ml of Ligfol.

Cows of the second group were injected with an antibiotic-containing preparation, Mastisan A, in a dose of 10 ml, three times with an interval of 24 hours after evening milking, in the affected lobes of the udder.

7 days after the end of the course of treatment, milk from all experimental cows was examined by the express method, using a 2% mastidine solution for the presence of mastitis.

The research results showed that in the treatment of subclinical mastitis in cows, calendula decoction in combination with Ligfol was cured of 90% of patients with an udder, and with mastisan A - 62.5%.
