The efficacy of two methods of spraying of acaricides on tick-infested sheep and goats was assessed. Two pyrethroid acaricides, 0.15% sumicidin and 0.20% butox were sprayed on individual animal one by one or on group of ten animals kept in small enclosures at a time, totally involving 40 sheep and 40 goats for each method. The efficacy, as seen from the total efficacy score (TES) of the former method of spraying, was found to be higher than the latter. But the advantages of the group spraying were that it saved the time in spraying and the quantity of acaricidal emulsion.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were presented the results of a veterinary and sanitary assessment and bacteriological investigation of sheep slaughter products, which showed meat serviceability for consumption after application of Triclafen suspension. Application Triclafen suspension did not render negative influence on an organism of animals. It was proved by organoleptic and laboratory research of meat of slaughter animals of experimental and control groups. The meat obtained from healthy sheep which were administrated the suspension in accordance with microbiological indicators proved to be of good quality and corresponded to the established norms (Sanitary regulations and standards 11 - 63 Republic of Belarus 98): it had the general bacterial content within admissible limits and did not contain agents of anthropozoonosts, alimentary toxicosis and toxinfections and it can be sold without any restrictions.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied the anthelminthic properties of preparative forms of elecampane (Inula helenium) (herbal infusion, tincture, liquid and dry extracts). Research results showed that the analyzed preparative forms in the administrated doses possesed high therapeutic efficiency against strongyloidosis and strongylatosis of gastroenteric path of sheep. Thus, according to results of research it was established, that the highest therapeutic effect rendered herbal infusion of elecampane in a dose of 6 ml/kg live weight once a day three days continuously; and the antiparasitic efficiency was 60%. Application of elecampane tincture in a dose of 1 ml/kg live weight once and 0,5 ml/kg of live weight twice rendered the 100% therapeutic effect. Administration of a liquid extract of elecampane in a dose of 0,2 ml/kg live of weight once and 0,1 ml/kg of live weight twice rendered 100% therapeutic effect. Application of elecampane dry extract in a dose of 30 mg/kg of live weight once and 25 mg/kg of live weight twice rendered 100% therapeutic effect.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were determined the parameters of acute and subacute toxicological characteristics of the developed in the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine anthelmintic preparations of durable action Febolvetum-О for control of sheep strongylatosis and Febolvetum for control of strongylatosis of cattle young stock. Data on determination of toxicological parameters of the prolonged action bolus were presented. Research results showed that the preparations did not render negative influence on laboratory animals (white mice). According to the parameters of acute oral toxicity the Febolvetum was qualify as the third hazard class. In accordance with the results of study of subacute toxicity parameters of the preparations, it was concluded, that in the conditions of free feeding of Febolvetum boluse in combination with forages in course of 30 days in doses of 200 mg/kg; 150 mg/kg; 100 mg/kg of body weight in animals there were found no signs of intoxication; there were not stated any is not fixed deviations in physiological state; and were stated no mice death.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the nonspecific resistance of lambs of Latvian Black Face breed during the colostrum and milk fed period of their growth development. In course of the experiment there were used 10 newborn lambs. Analysis of resistance was realized in accordance with a scheme: before colostral milk sucking; in 6, 12, 24 hours; in 3, 7, 14, 21 days; in 1, 2 and 3 months after birth. In lambs during the colostrum and milk fed period of growth there were marked two critical periods, which were characterized by low indicators of resistance: before colostral milk uptake and at 7-21 day-old age. Increasing of leukocytes, bactericidal, lysozymic activity of blood serum, phagocytal activity of leukocytes, crude protein and antibodies in the first days of lamb life took place due to their entrance in blood with colostral milk, just because at this time the intestines wall possessed ability to transit in native condition the antibodies, enzymes, and leukocytes. At 7-21 day-old age in connection with reduction of these factors quantity of in colostral milk, and also due to reduction of intestines capacity, their was stated that their entrance in blood of newborn lambs decreased, but at 3 month old age of lambs there were stated to form internal protective factors of resistance because of which their quantity in blood started to increase.

Research on determination of changes of morphological and biochemical blood indexes of sheep with fasciolosis after application of the drug Klozantsid (menizol 20%, produced in the Republic of Belarus) was carried out. The research realized in the conditions of the Scientific and Research Institute of Applied Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology of the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. In course of the experiment there were used sheep of Romanovskaya breed at the age from 1,5 till 5 years which were spontaneously infected with fasciola. The experimental animals were administrated with the examined antihelminthic preparation. It was found out that after administration of the preparation there was stated the restoration of a level of erythrocytes, haemoglobin, leukocytes, enzymes, proteins and other blood indexes. Klozantsid did not render toxic influence on studied animals. | Проведены исследования по выяснению изменений морфологических и биохимических показателей крови у овец с фасциолёзной инвазией при применении препарата Клозанцид. Исследования проводили в условиях клиники и лаборатории кафедры паразитологии и инвазионных болезней, лаборатории кафедры клинической диагностики, научно-исследовательского института прикладной ветеринарной медицины и биотехнологии учреждения образования «Витебская ордена «Знак Почёта» государственная академия ветеринарной медицины». Объектом исследования являлись овцы романовской породы в возрасте от 1,5 до 5 лет, спонтанно зараженные фасциолами, которым применяли испытуемый препарат, обладающий антигельминтными свойствами. При этом выяснено, что после введения препарата происходит восстановление уровня эритроцитов, гемоглобина, лейкоцитов, ферментов, белков и других показателей. Клозанцид не оказывал токсического влияния на организм животного.
