The use of coniferous feed additives in case of piglet isosporosis

The article presents the results of scientific and economic experience in determining the effectiveness of two coniferous feed additives in comparison with anticoccidial drugs for porcine isosporosis in a large industrial pig complex. Coniferous-salicylic supplement (SDS) contains glycerine extracts of pine needles and aspen bark. The coniferous-phytogenic immunomodulator (CFI) consists of glycerin extract of pine needles, linseed cake, bran, sugar.It was found that isosporosis in piglets growing at the age of 49 days proceeds with signs of dyspepsia and a decrease in the level of total protein in the serum of animals. The research results showed 100% efficiency and preservation of the livestock after the use of aimeralatmas 50, tylosin 50, coniferous-salicylic feed additive and coniferous-phytogenic immunomodulator in piglet isosporosis caused by Isospora suis species.Administration of CFI and CSD for 3 weeks contributed to the gradual disappearance of the signs of diarrhea-dyspeptic syndrome in all piglets. The maximum daily average increase in live weight in piglets at 70 days of age was obtained after using CFI at a dose of 5.0 ml per head per day for 3 weeks. A significant increase in the amount of total protein in the blood serum of piglets was obtained after the use of “Eimeralatm 50” by 4.8%, HDL by 8.1%, CFI by 9.3%. The used drugs and coniferous feed additives do not have a negative effect on the dynamics of mineral metabolism of the main macronutrients.
