EFFECT OF CIFLUTRIN-BASED DRUGS ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF CATTLE BLOOD
Abstract
Cattle breeding is a branch of animal husbandry, which provides the population of Ukraine with indispensable animal proteins that are part of meat and dairy products. Unfortunately, the situation in cattle breeding in our country is critical, since in recent years there has been a rapid decline in the number of cattle in farms of various forms of ownership. Record low is the number of dairy animals, which requires the preservation and maintenance of the maximum epizootic well-being of the current livestock. One of the main factors in reducing the amount of products obtained are parasitic diseases, the causative agents of which are permanent or temporary ectoparasites. The main ectoparasites that attack cattle are lice and hairs, blood-sucking and non-blood-sucking insects, ixodes and sarcoptoid mites. After determining the effect of treatment of cattle of different age groups with preparations based on ciflutrin on morphological and biochemical parameters of blood was established. In cows treated with a drug based on ciflutrin, an increase in the number of red blood cells was noted. Accordingly, an increase in hemoglobin content was recorded in test cows by 10% (p < 0.001). There was also an increase in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin content in the blood of calves of the experimental group by 21.8% (p < 0.001) and 7.4% (p < 0.01), respectively. Biochemical studies of treated serum showed a 1.1% increase in total protein in cows (p < 0.05) and a 15% increase in total protein in calves (p < 0.01). A 17% increase (p < 0.01) in carotene was recorded in the calf group. Studies have established a tendency to increase the alkaline reserve index during the experiment in all age groups. Therefore, the use of the drug based on the active ingredient cyfluthrin for insecticidal treatment of cattle did not cause changes in morphological and biochemical blood parameters beyond their reference values.
