Efficiency of the Drug Superpyrin in the Complex Application in the Treatment of Broiler Chickens

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the efficiency and safety of the drug Superpyrin, a powder for oral use, as a means of symptomatic therapy in the treatment of acute respiratory infections in broiler chickens. The active substances of the drug are acetylsalicylic, ascorbic and citric acids. The experiment was conducted on broiler chickens with clinical signs of bacterial disease – pasteurellosis. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical signs of the disease, the results of pathological and anatomical autopsy of dead chickens and the results of bacteriological examination of pat-material. Experimental and control groups of broiler chickens received the antimicrobial drug Doxycycline hyclate at a dose of 20 mg per kg of body weight per day orally with drinking water for 5 consecutive days. In addition to antimicrobial therapy, chickens-broiler of the experimental group received the test drug Superpyrin orally with drinking water at a dose of 1 g per 1 liter of water for 3 days. From the beginning of the treatment to the 14th day, the clinical state of the poultry of both groups was monitored, namely, the presence of adverse reactions, negative phenomena and body weight gain. Before the treatment and on the 10th day after the last administration of the drug Superpyrin, morphological and biochemical parameters of the chickens’ blood were examined. Hematological studies were conducted according to generally accepted methods, and biochemical – with the help of a semi-automatic biochemical analyzer Humalyzer 3000, using test-kits from the company Human. The obtained results were processed statistically. The results of a clinical study showed that the drug Superpyrin, a powder for oral use, in the recommended dosage, is an effective means for symptomatic therapy in the treatment of acute respiratory poultry disease of bacterial etiology. In the experimental group of chickens, the poultry mortality decreased, the treatment efficiency increased and body weight gains increased. No adverse reactions were recorded in poultry of the experimental group during the administration of the Superpyrin.
