The small number of livestock in private farms, compared to large industrial poultry farms, does not remove the problem of gastrointestinal pathology and gastro-enthus syndrome. The main etiological factor of gastro-entry syndrome is the eimeriosis of birds, which is recorded both monoinvasia and in the association with cryptospoidiosis, salmonellosis and colibacteriosis. Given this fact, the treatment of gastroenteral syndrome should be carried out comprehensively with the use of modern eimeriostatics and antibiotics. The study of new effective etiotropic drugs with a wide range of antiparasitic action is one of the priority areas in the fight against bird eimeriosis. In the production conditions of one of the private farms p. Chumaki, Dnipro district, Dnipropetrovsk region on broiler chickens comparative tests of various combinations of eimeriocidal and antimicrobial preparations of etiotropic action: Solicox + Enrofloxacin, Madurouloxacin, Enrofloxacin, Baykoxin +-Baykox their therapeutic and preventive action. Five groups of broiler chickens were formed on the principle of analogues: one-one-control and four-experimental-40 heads each. Only the antibiotic enrofloxacin was used in the control group.
It was found that in the experimental groups after the use of eimeriocidal drugs, a decrease in the number of clinically ill individuals and a decrease of victims was forced, which contributed to the improvement of zootechnical indicators when growing broiler chickens. The extrousness of drugs on the 45th day of observation in the broiler chickens of the 1st group was 86.8%, and the intensity-95.8%, in group 2, these indicators were 87.9 and 95.8%, in group 3-86.9 and 95.1%, in the 4th group-91.1.1. The birds of the control group observed clinical signs of eimeriosis throughout the study period, and the extensibility and intensity of infestation in birds of the control group before the end of the experiment was 77.3 and 42.8%, respectively.
