Argovit preparation effectiveness for poultry intestinal diseases therapy

The purpose of research is to study the effectiveness of the drug "Argovit" for the treatment of intestinal infections in birds. The Argovit drug developed in LLC Research and Production Center "Vector-Vita" is effective and safe in the application of uncomplicated salmonellosis. The drug easily fits into the technology of keeping farm animals and birds. It is effective in isolated application, which makes it attractive in the modern market of biological products. Two groups of chickens under the age of 10 days were selected (experimental and control). Chickens of the experimental group (n = 75) with the syndrome of gastrointestinal diseases were treated with a 1.0 % aqueous solution of Argovit at a dose of 1 ml/l of water until complete recovery. Chickens of the control group were treated with the antibiotic "Polodoxim" at a dose of 1 ml/l of water for five days. Throughout the experience, the drug "Argovit" contributed to an easier course and a two-fold reduction in the duration of the disease. The safety of chickens was 93.3 % in the experimental group, and 90.6% in the control group. We also noted the weakening of inflammatory processes in the body of chickens of both groups, which was characterized by a decrease in the level of lymphocytes in chickens in the experimental group from 5,5 ± 0,75 to 5,6 ± 0,89 • 109/l, and in the control group from 5,6±0,64 to 5,5 ± 0,30 • 109/l. The content of the hemoglobin level in chickens of the experimental group is below the norm by 27 %, the control - by 19 %. At the same time, restoration of homeostasis and a decrease in the level of protein in the blood serum were observed. It has been established that the use of the drug "Argovit" in chickens improves the morphological and biochemical parameters of blood due to the protective forces of the protein and reduces the effects of diarrhea, and as a result, increases their safety.
