The Evaluation of Therapeutic Efficacy of Toltrazuril in the Treatment of Coccidiosis of Lambs and Goat Kids

Öz

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of toltrazuril in the treatment of coccidiosis of lambs and goat kids. The animal material of the study consisted of 120 lambs and 20 goat kids with coccidiosis, 15-45 days old. Clinical examination revealed absented or decreased appetite, depression, dehydration, decrease in suckling reflex, weight loss and black greenish (mostly) or bloody diarrhea in lambs and goat kids with coccidiosis. Diagnosis of coccidiosis was performed by microscopic examination.  A single dose of toltrazuril (20 mg/kg PO) was administered to each lambs and goat kids. 115 of 120 lambs with coccidiosis responded to the therapy (95 %). Five infected lambs did not respond to treatment. 19 of 20 goat kids with coccidiosis responded to the therapy (95 %). One infected goat kids did not respond to treatment. As a result, this study demonstrated that toltrazuril was found to have more effect in the treatment of coccidiosis of lambs and goat kids.

Kuzu ve Oğlak Akut Koksidiyozisinin Tedavisinde Toltrazuril’in Tedavideki Etkinliğinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kuzu ve oğlak akut koksidiyozisinin tedavisinde toltrazuril’in tedavideki etkinliğini değerlendirmekti. Bu araştırmanın materyalini, 15-45 günlük koksidiyozisli 120 kuzu ve 20 oğlak oluşturdu. Kuzu ve oğlaklarda iştahsızlık, durgunluk, emme refleksinde ve canlı ağırlıkta azalma, dehidrasyon ve siyah yeşilimsi (çoğunluğunda) veya kanlı ishal gözlendi. Koksidiyozis tanısı dışkının mikroskobik muayenesi ile kondu. Kuzu ve oğlaklara 20 mg/kg dozunda oral yolla tek doz toltrazuril uygulandı.  120 koksidiyozisli kuzunun 115’i tedaviye cevap verirken, 5 kuzu tedaviye cevap vermedi. 20 koksidiyozisli oğlağın 19’u tedaviye cevap verirken, 1 oğlak tedaviye cevap vermedi. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma kuzu ve oğlakların koksidiyozisinin tedavisinde toltrazuril’in oldukça etkili olduğunu göstermiştir.
