Comparative effectiveness of complex treatment schemes for rabbits with pasalurosis and psoroptosis

Abstract

Psoroptosis and pasalurosis in rabbits for their maintenance in unsanitary conditions often becomes massive. To increase the effectiveness of treatment of rabbits it is expedient to use combined drugs based on active substances with different mechanisms of action on parasites. Rabbits of the first experimental group applied spray treatment with acaricidal properties of kerosene + glycerol (1:1) three times with an interval of 5 days. Spraying the inner surface of the ears was carried out after mechanical cleaning with gauze swabs soaked in iodine solution + glycerin (1:4). To destroy the helminths, brovadasol plus (5 g/10 kg body weight), orally with food, was administered once. For animals of the second experimental group, the "brovermectin 2%" helminthoacaricide was chosen, it was orally administered at a dose of 1 ml/50 kg body weight, divided into 5 days of regular use. Mechanical treatment of ear with chlorhexidine bigluconate was carried out analogously to rabbits of the first group twice a day for 10 days. On the day of treatment with the rabbits in the second group, Dexacel 0.2 % (KELAN.V., Belgium) was injected intramuscularly with a dose of 0.1/1 kg of body weight, in order to improve the general animal's stanchion. For combined infestations (scabies and nematodes) it is advisable to use preparations based on ivermectin (in our study, "Brovermectin 2%" at a dose of 1 ml/50 kg, which was divided into 5 parts and daily diluted one part in 1/2 of the daily water) In the case of the need to treat only psoroptosis, one can use a kerosene solution in glycerol (1:1) in the form of a spray. A prerequisite for the effective treatment of psoropathy is the regular mechanical cleaning of the affected ears from the purulent parasitic exudate or iodine solution + glycerol (1:4) or Chlorhexidine bigluconate 0,05%. It is appropriate to use "Dexacel 02" (one time, non-inflammatory y dose of 0.1/1 kg body weight) in order to improve the general animal's condition. The use of "Brovadazole plus" (once, with food, at a dose of 5 g/10 kg body weight) did not ensure 100% destruction of Passalurus ambiquus, but due to the short carencia period (only 7 days), if necessary, can be applied to fattening rabbits in the last 2 weeks before slaughter. In contrast to the period of carencia, "Brovermectin 2%" is at least 24 days. Key words: rabbit, psoroptosis, pasalurosis, brovermectin, acaricidal efficacy, Dexacel 02.
