THE EFFECT OF AMPROLIUM ON SOME BLOOD INDICATORS OF DOMESTIC GEESE (ANSER ANSER DOMESTICUS) DURING ASSOCIATIVE INVASIONS

Abstract

In this research, we studied the effect of the coccidiostatic drug - amprolium in associative infestation of geese (coccidia + helminths) on some biochemical and morphological parameters of the blood of healthy, sick, and treated birds. The count of erythrocytes, leukocytes, hemoglobin concentration, and leukocyte formula were calculated, and the activity of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in 10-20-day-old goslings (Anser anser domesticus) was determined. It was revealed that the amount of total protein, albumin, and globulin in the blood of healthy geese increases depending on the age of the bird, and in case of associative invasions with age, the amount of total protein, albumin, and globulin decreases. The sum of indicators in the blood does not return to normal in the post-patent period of invasion. It was also revealed that the activity of ALT and AST decreases during bird infestation and does not return to normal even after the end of the disease. In the case of associative infestation of geese, the drug amprolium restores the morphological and biochemical parameters of the blood of birds.
