Natural Sorbent Zeolite in a Complex for Streptococcal Septicemia of Lambs.

Abstract

The article presents data on the use of amoxicillin and a mixture of zeolite, zinc oxide and streptocide for the treatment of patients with streptococcal septicemia in lambs. Amoxicillin was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 1 ml/10 kg of weight, and after cleaning, a mixture of zinc oxide, streptocide and natural zeolite sorbent, which had the ability to absorb and firmly retain various contaminants, was applied to the umbilical cord area after cleaning. Lambs of the second group were treated according to a scheme in which intramuscular Amoxicillin alone was administered once a day, at a dose of 1 ml/10 kg of body weight, intramuscularly; lambs of the third group were treated with streptomycin at a dose of 20,000 units/kg three times a day intramuscularly.

The result revealed that the difference between the treatment effects of the first, second and third groups was significant. During the treatment period, significant differences in the recovery of animals were revealed. In animals of the first group, immunobiological indicators were higher than in other groups of animals; already on the third day of therapy, the lambs felt normal, there was no pain in the navel area, there was no purulent exudate, in animals of the second and third groups the condition remained satisfactory, pain was felt, There was a slight discharge from the navel.
