Bronchopneumonia of calves (diagnostics, symptoms, treatment)

We carried out a research and production experiment in the conditions of the Mountain State Agrarian University (scientific and experimental farm) and the SC "Raduga" (Prigorodny District of North Ossetia - Alania) on calves of patients with an acute form of bronchopneumonia. The calves were 2 to 3 months old. According to the results of studies of the prevalence of bronchopneumonia in calves, we found that in the studied farms, on average, 25.2 % of calves at the age of 2 to 3 months fell ill. After the application of complex therapy in animals of the first experimental group, the average daily gain increased and amounted to 590 g, in the second experimental group – 580 g, while in the control group - 350 g. clay as a mineral supplement and an immunomodulator "Azoksivet" helps to increase the nonspecific resistance of the body of calves of patients with nonspecific bronchopneumonia and accelerates their recovery by 3 days.
