Аннотация

This article presents the results of examination of horses for helminthiasis in Ellikkala district. The average incidence of helminth infestation in the examined horses was 6.6%, stronglidiosis -6.6%, and parascaridiosis -20%. The overall infestation with helminths averaged 33.3 percent. “Panafenb”, a 22.2% drug for helminthiasis in horses, was found to be effective when given orally (per os) in the form of granules to horses in the amount of 1.0 g per 34 kg of live weight. “THE ROLE OF DEWORMING IN THE HEALTHY CARE OF HORSES” P age 85 | 4 KEYWORDS: Veterinary, parasite, deworming, helminth, helminthiasis, stronglidosis, strongiliosis, parascaridiosis, echinococcosis, cysticercosis oncosphere, larva, protoscolex, panafenb, praziquantel, piperazine, febantel, tsestod, nematode. INTRODUCTION pathogens found in horses cause serious damage to animal health. Horses can often In the conditions of the Republic, the spread parasitic eggs when they roam freely in development of the equestrian industry, pastures. As a result of the crops going to the ensuring their health, as well as increasing the sown areas, they infect the helminth eggs that quantity and improving the quality of products they carry with them to something. These is an urgent problem of our time. It is known eggs, along with plant nutrients, re-enter the that many infectious and parasitic diseases, horse's body with favorable conditions and including helminthiasis, are adapted to a thus continue their biological cycle. particular animal, group of animals or the human body, and it is these organisms that Hundreds of years ago, people realized that enter the body and cause specific diseases. helminthiasis occurs in horses, and used However, a number of helminths are specific methods to infect horses with certain to different animals: ruminants are large anthelmintic properties to reduce helminths in horned animals (cattle, deer, kutos), small horses. In the following years, as a result of horned animals (sheep, goats, ohu, gazelles, the development of science, several hundred argali, etc.), horses, camels, pigs and humans anthelmintics against helminthiasis in horses (Homosupiens). There are also helminths. In were discovered and their application particular, the development of helminths in schemes were developed. horses has a serious impact on their health. However, several species of helminths in Helminthiasis causes great economic damage horses are still parasitic, causing a certain by infecting horses. That is, it has a negative amount of economic damage. In horses, impact on the development of the equestrian helminths, often belonging to the classes network. This economic damage is caused by cestodes and nematodes, cause the disease. the cost of veterinary sanitation measures against the disease, a sharp decline in the According to P.A. Velichkin (1948.y), 10 (ten) productivity of infected animals and the death heads of horses of different ages were of infected animals. Such diseases include examined before and after application of the stronglidosis, which causes disease in horses. drug to determine the efficacy of Scientists have been conducting research on phenothiazine against equine strongyloidosis the treatment and prevention of these and parascaridosis. Experiments have shown diseases for decades, and a number of that horses of all ages and in different treatment and prevention measures have activities and conditions (working horses, wild been developed accordingly. Horses of all horses, young horses, yearlings) are more ages are infected with stranglidoses, which susceptible to strongiloidosis and negatively affects their development. parascaridiosis, and all horses (100%) with Currently, horses are used for sports, kupkari strongiloidosis, runners and 45-62% of young and other purposes. Some people also take horses fed per year were found to be infected care of horses out of passion. Several parasitic with parascaridiosis. “THE ROLE OF DEWORMING IN THE HEALTHY CARE OF HORSES” P age 86 | 4 A.P. Toshev (1949) conducted a The purpose of the study: Development of comprehensive, in-depth study of helminth methods for the detection of helminthiasis in fauna and helminthiasis in horses in the Irkutsk horses in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and region of the Russian Federation, in particular the use of effective drugs against them. We in the village of Magoytuy, Akshi district, believe that in order to do this, the following Irkutsk region - 72 head of horses died in one tasks must be performed. year. the number of horses (200 head) was Research tasks: 36%.
