Postnatal paresis treatment in goats

The purpose of the study is a comparative description of the methods of treating goats with postpartum paresis in the personal subsidiary farming of the Yegoryevsky District. The studies were carried out from February to March 2022 in the personal subsidiary farming of the Yegoryevsky District on goats of the Saanen, Russian and Czech breeds. Postpartum paresis was recorded during the lambing period in the winter-spring period. Two treatment regimens were used, in goats of the experimental group, preserved colostrum from healthy animals was used, administered intracisternally, in goats of the control group, air was injected intercisternally, using an udder aeration device by N.A. Malygina (Rational proposal No. 303 dated April 26, 2006). An analysis of the content of calcium and phosphorus in the blood serum of goats with signs of postpartum paresis before and after treatment was carried out. The indicators of total and fractional calcium and phosphorus in goats with a postpartum cut before the start of therapy were below physiological indicators. On the 14th day after treatment, the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the experimental and control groups corresponded to the reference values. Recovery of animals in the experimental group was observed 15 minutes after the introduction of colostrum into the udder, and in the control group - after 40 minutes. In the control group on the 14th day, the average milk yield was 3.68 liters, on the 21st day - 4 liters. In three goats from the control group, blood impurities in the colostrum were observed on the 1st day after therapy, and during the control milking on the 21st day, a slight decrease in milk yield was noted. The decrease in the average daily milk yield in the control group is explained by the development of an inflammatory process in the mammary gland as a result of damage or rupture of the alveoli by forced air during udder aeration.
