ASSESSING THE CALVES` BIOCHEMICAL STATUS AFTER CHEMOTHERAPY FOR EIMERIOSIS

Annotation
This article presents the experiment results on the effect of the drugs Eimeterm suspension
5 % and Tylosin 200 on the biochemical parameters of the blood of calves with spontaneous eimeria
invasion. According to the results of coproscopy, oocysts of Eimeria bovis, Eimeria ellipsoidalis and
Eimeria zuernii were found in the calves aged 2-2.5 months. The calvesinvasion extensity by E. bovis eimeria species was 100 %. The research results showed 100 % therapeutic efficiency of the studied drugs. In the biochemical analysis of the calves blood serum, after using Eimeterm
5 % and Tylosin 200, the globulin level in the experimental groups increased by 5.5 and 4.1 %, respectively. ALT and AST levels in the experimental groups increased by 2 and 1.5 times,
respectively, and significantly exceeded the values in the control group. No negative changes were
observed in the analysis of carbohydrate and general mineral metabolism. The studied drugs did
not have a negative effect on the dynamics of the main indicators of protein, carbohydrate, and
mineral metabolism, but they did affect the increase in the liver enzymes activity.
