Over recent years in many countries the research on how to use various additives to foodstuff in feeds of birds has intensified (ferment preparations, organic acids, prebiotics), due to which biological value as well as birds’ productivity and immunity to a contraction of diseases would increase. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of enzymes Rovabio™ Excel AP, organic acids Euro Guard SVB and prebiotics Agrimoss® on productivity and digestive processes of broiler chickens. To reach this, the dynamics of mass growth of chicken broilers, feed input, and birds’ preservation. The influence of preparations Rovabio™ Excel AP, Euro Guard SVB and Agrimoss® on biochemical and microbiological processes in the contents of separate intestinal segments of chicken broilers, as well as the influence of said preparations on blood parameters of broilers in blood serum was determined. The work was completed on April-September of 2006 in „AB Vilniaus paukštynas“, in the laboratory of birds’ feed and aviculture products at LVA (Lithuanian Veterinary Ascademy) and in the company „Adisseo“. The feeding trial was conducted on 800 Roos 308 broiler chickens allocated to four groups of 200 chickens each. Group I were control, groups II, III, IV were experimental. During all trial Rovabio™ Excel AP alone and in combination with Euro Guard SVB improved body weight 2% and Rovabio™ Excel AP + Agrimoss® improved broiler chickens body weight 4%, feed conversion ratio decreased 6%...

Magistro baigiamajame darbe aprašomi Radviliškio rajone auginamų kiaulių užsikrėtimo virškinimo trakto helmintais intensyvumas priklausomai nuo fermos dydžio ir gyvulio amžiaus. Nustatytas kiaulių užsikrėtimas Ascaris suum, Oesophagostomum spp, Strongyloideas spp. helmintais ir Eimeria spp. pirmuonimis. Literatūros apžvalgoje aprašomas šių parazitų vystymasis, klinika, patogenezė ir epizootiniai duomenys. Tyrimams mėginiai buvo imami Radviliškio rajone esančiuose smulkių kiaulių augintojų ūkiuose ir vidutinio stambumo kiaulių komplekse. Tyrimo laikotarpiu buvo paimti 57 mėginiai iš penkių skirtingų smulkių kiaulių augintojų ir 42 mėginiai iš kiaulių komplekso. Mėginiai ištirti LSMU VA Užkrečiamųjų ligų katedros Parazitologijos laboratorijoje. Kiaulės pagal amžių buvo suskirstytos į grupes: 0 – 3 mėn., 4 – 5 mėn., 6 – 8 mėn., 9 – 11 mėn., paršavedės ir kuiliai. Tyrimai buvo atliekami modifikuotu MacMaster metodu. Aukščiausias užsikrėtimas virškinimo trakto parazitais nustatytas Radviliškio rajone esančiuose smulkiuose kiaulių ūkiuose ir teigiamų atvejų skaičius juose siekė 89 proc. Tuo tarpu vidutinio didumo kiaulių komplekse užsikrėtimas siekė 31 proc. Dažniausiai pasireiškę virškinimo trakto parazitai tiek smulkių ūkių, tiek komplekso mėginiuose buvo Oesophagostomum spp. ir A. suum. Be to, nustatyti sporadiniai Strongyloides spp. ir Eimeria spp. užsikrėtimų atvejai. Oesophagostomum spp. ir Ascaris suum skirtingose kiaulių grupėse didžiausias užsikrėtimas buvo paršavedžių...

In addition, the development cycles of these parasites, clinic, pathogenesis and epidemiological data are described. During the study, 57 samples from 5 different small pig farmers and 42 samples from the medium size pig farm were collected. All samples were examined at Laboratory of Parasitology, Department of Infectious Diseases, Veterinary Academy, Lithuanian University of health Sciences. Pigs were divided according age and sex into 0 – 3 months, 4 – 5 months, 6 – 8 months, 9 – 11 months, sows and boars groups. The samples were examined by modified MacMaster technique. The highest level (89%) of gastrointestinal parasites infection was registered in small pig farms. However, the level of infection in the medium size pig farm was significantly lower i.e. 31%. In our study Oesophagostomum spp. and A. suum were highly distributed and Strongyloides spp. and Eimeria spp were found only as sporadic infection. Most intensive infection level of Oesophagostomum spp. and A. suum was registered in sows, 6 – 8 months and 9 – 11 months pigs. Furthermore, the sporadical cases of infection with Eimeria spp. was found in 4 – 5 months and 6 – 8 months pigs and Strongyloides spp cases in... [to full text]
