ECONOMICAL EFFICIENCY OF A NEW PREVENTIVE MEASURE DEVELOPED AGAINST MIXED INVASIONS OF TURKEYS

The poultry industry in Azerbaijan is quite diversified. In addition to domestic chickens, farms keep geese, ducks, turkeys and other species of domestic birds. Among them, turkeys are valued for their high quality meat. Parasitic diseases are one of the main factors negatively affecting the keeping of turkeys. Birds are more often infected with parasitic diseases of mixed etiology. Ascariasis and heteracidosis of turkeys are widespread in farms in Azerbaijan. Helminths from genera Ascaris and Heterakis have a greater effect on their health than monoinvasions. In case of intense infection, they can cause mass mortality. To compensate for the economic damage caused by parasitic diseases to poultry farms, various chemical treatment schemes have been developed. The development of new preventive methods allows timely prevention of infection of turkeys with these diseases will help reduce risk and minimise loss. The main purpose of this research work is the timely prevention of diseases that may occur when using a 5.0% solution of monochlorine iodine during the disinfection of ground litters in premises, on henrun grounds, against the pathogens of helminths Ascaridia dissimilis and Heterakis gallinarum, which in mixed form infect turkeys of the Melegiris gallorav breed rearing in individual farms. The experiments were carried out in the village of Shakhriyar in the Goygol district of the Republic of Azerbaijan, in the premises of an individual farm, where 196 head of turkeys were kept, and land plots in the henrun area were disinfected and 100% lethal effect on helminth eggs was revealed. The high efficiency was obtained as a result of the use of the disinvasion scheme developed against the pathogens of the mixed invasion of turkeys, which, with timely prevention of helminthiasis that may occur in poultry farms, gave an economic income of 1.73 manats for each bird.
