Diagnostic studies for common invasive and infectious pathologies of rabbits in the Orenburg region

Abstract

Rabbits, like other animal species, are susceptible to infection with invasive and infectious diseases. Both ecto- and endoparasites are registered in them, including helminths, insects on the body, acarus scabies, protozoa. Rabbits are characterized by a high degree of precocity, high fecundity and the breadth of use of the products obtained from them. As a product of rabbit breeding, first, meat is in demand as a dietary product. Part of the products from rabbits - hair, wool-molt is obtained during the life of the animal, and meat, skins, other products - after slaughter. Skins and rabbit hair are used for the manufacture of fur products, as well as in the felt and knitting industry. In addition, biologists, doctors, veterinarians use rabbits as laboratory animals in scientific research, for testing cosmetics, as well as in laboratories and bio factories for drug testing. To preserve the population of these species, it is important to prevent infection with various pathologies inherent in rabbits, including invasive diseases.

“…Similar pathomorphological changes in the intestines are described by Z.K. Terentyeva et al (2021), who indicated serous-catarrhal and catarrhal-necrotic inflammations of the large intestine. Mesenteric lymph nodes are enlarged, hyperaemic, swollen.…”

“…Mykhailoutenko et al (2019) described pathomorphological changes in rabbits during the chronic course of passalurosis, i.e., with low II; Z.K. Terentyeva et al (2021) described these changes for medium and high II, where the main structural changes were revealed only in the large intestine of rabbits.…”

“…Its distribution, according to Z.K. Terentyeva et al (2021) is contributed by the unsanitary conditions of keeping rabbits on unchanged bedding or floors. The optimal air temperature for egg development, according to V. Yevstafieva et al (2021,2022) is +35°C.…”
