[Economical consequences of intestinal nematodes infection in pigs]. / Ekonomiczne konsekwencje inwazji nicieni przewodu pokarmowego u trzody chlewnej.

The studies wers carried out in ZZD Kolbacz on 14 sows. The experimental groups control and treated consisted of 7 sows each. The sows were treated with Dectomax - 1 ml/33 kg of body weight. The efficacy of sows treatment's was verified with the Wllis-Schlaaf and McMaster method. The studies indicate, that subclinical infection of intestinal nematodes could influence the swine production. The piglets from treated with Dectomax sows were infected in 8% only; when all piglets from non treated sows were infected with nematodes. From treated sows 0.8 more piglet were obtained and the weight gain of litter was after 6 weeks 24.4 kg higher comparing with the control group.

[The usefulnes of baycox (bayer) for coccidiosis control of lambs]. / Przydatnosc preparatu baycox (bayer) w profilaktyce kokcydiozy u jagniat.

The aim the studies was to establish the usefulness of Baycox for control of coccidiosis and ITS influence on production results (efficiency) in lambs. The studies were carried out on 200 lambs, naturally infected with coccidia, divided in 2 groups -control and experimental, 100 animals in each, after separation from ewes selected in respect of sex, type, date of birth and weight. Toltrazuiril (Baycox) was used the first time for control of sheep coccidiosis in Poland. Toltrazuril was applied individual, twice at 110 and 117 day of life in a doses of 20 mg/kg body weight. The extensity and intensity of coccidia infection was ascertained by the Willis-Schlaaf and McMaster methods. The weight gain of lambs was stated once a month on the basis of individual weight. It was established that toltrazuril show a high efficiency against the protozoa of the genus Eimeria and drug could be used for coccidia control in lambs. This preparation is very active against all intracellular stages - schisogony and gamogony and it could be used for treatment of clinical coccidiosis. It was established profitable influence on the weight gain of lambs.

[The influence of coccidiostats on the course of coccidiosis and production results in an industrial rabbit farm]. / Wplyw kokcydiostatyków na przebieg kokcydiozy i efekty produkcyjne w przemyslowej fermie królików.

The study was carried out on material consisting of 3375 rabbits of the White New Zealand breed. The total number of 9 species of coccidia were found, 8 of which were intestinal (E. perforans, E. media, E. magna, E. irresidua, E. coecicola, E. flavescens, E. piriformis oraz E. intestinalis) and E. stiedai inhabiting the liver. Three specirs - E . irresidua, E. coecicola and E. flavescens have been found in Poiand for the first time. Three of four coccidiostats examined i.e. Sacox, Cycostat and Baycox may be used to prevent coccidiosis in rabbit farm. Activity of Vetrocox is less effective and it should not be used in the prevention of coccidia infection. At the age of 90 days the best results were obtained by treatment of Sacox (257 g of increase body weight and 9 per cent lower mortality comparing with the control group), the second test result was after two doses of Baycox and after Cycostat treatment.
