Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of gamithromycin in the treatment of naturally infected neonatal calves with cryptosporidiosis. Materials and Methods: 5-20 days old 20 diarrheic neonatal calves were used as material in this study. Diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis was made by microscopic examination and ELISA test. Calves shedding Cryptosporidium oocysts between 4 x 104 and 15 x 106 per gram in feces were included in the study. Hemogram and blood gases were measured at the beginning of the treatment and after the treatment. A single dose of 6 mg/kg body weight of gamithromycin was administered subcutaneously. Drug efficacy was assessed by evaluating the existence of diarrhea, oocyst shedding and body condition from day 1 to 5. Results: On 5th day, the medicated 6 calves had no oocysts, and number of oocysts in feces had been decreased in 11 calves on 5th day. Statistically significant difference (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kriptosporidiozis ile doğal olarak enfekte olmuş neonatal buzağıların tedavisinde gamitromisinin klinik etkinliğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 5-20 günlük 20 diyareli neonatal buzağı oluşturdu. Kriptosporidiozis tanısı mikroskopik inceleme ve ELISA testi ile konuldu. Dışkıda gram başına 4 x 104 ile 15 x 106 arasında kriptosporidium ookisti görülen buzağılar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hemogram ve kan gazları tedavinin başlangıcında ve tedaviden sonra ölçüldü. Buzağılara subkutan olarak tek doz 6 mg/ kg dozunda gamitromisin uygulandı. İlacın etkinliği, 5. güne kadar ishalin durumu, ookist saçılımı ve vücut durumunun değerlendirilmesi ile takip edildi. Bulgular: Beşinci günde, altı tane buzağı dışkısında ookist saptanmazken, 11 buzağı dışkısında ookist sayısı önemli oranda azaldı. Tedavinin başlangıcında ve tedaviden sonra kan değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak belirgin fark (p
