Efficiency of Albicomum 10% Vk in Cattle Mixed Helminthosis

Abstract

Tests of the antiparasitic agent Albicomum 10% VK were carried out in the Uvinsky and Zavyalovsky districts of the Udmurt Republic on animals spontaneously infested by the association of helminthiases. Animals of the first group were infested with fasciolous-strongylatosis invasion, the second - with mixed invasion of dicroceliosis + gastrointestinal strongylatosis, cows spontaneously infested with three types of helminths (fascioliasis + dicroceliosis + gastrointestinal strongylatosis) were in the third experimental group. Control groups were also formed with the corresponding associations of parasites, in which the intensity and extensity of infestation remained at a high level throughout the entire experiment. In the first (fascioliasis + gastrointestinal strongilatoses) and in the second (dicroceliosis + gastrointestinal strongylatoses) groups, all treated animals were completely freed from helminths on the 45th day. The extensibility of the drug was 100%. On the 90th day after the treatment, the effectiveness of the drug decreased by 10%. In case of fasciolous- dicrocelious-strongylatous association, the drug showed low efficiency. In 1 g of feces of the treated animals, an average of 9.7 eggs of trematodes were found. In production trials, Albicomum 10% VK showed the highest efficiency (90%) in two-component helminthoses.
