Abstract

In stud farms and pedigree farms preventive measures of infections, predefined herpesvirus horses of the first types must be complex. It should hold regular deworming, fortification, apply virusvaktsyny that profilaktuyut massive abortions in mares and lower respiratory disease of young form. The use of drugs Biomin P.E.P. and Mikofiks plus the rate of 2 g/100 kg of live weight with an interval of one day for 20 days per month for one month before and after zhereblennya improves body resistance horses and reduction of infection herpes virus infection, the first type. With regular manifestation of respiratory disease in foals vaccinated should be performed three times: the first time – a 10–day age in the presence of a normal body temperature in them, these – according to the instructions. Additional vaccination at an early age helps blocking vaccine strain receptor cells and, therefore, when a disease occurs in a mild form. At present, Ukraine registered bivalent inactivated vaccine against influenza and herpes infection of horses BioEquin FH and inactivated vaccine against herpes infection of horses BioEquin H, BIOVET, Czech Republic. Both vaccines contain in their composition herpesvirus inactivated horse first type.

The basis for nonspecific prevention of herpes type 1 infection of horses is to avoid or minimize the effects of stress factors and immunosuppressive drugs on horses, compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements of keeping and feeding. Scheme treat horses with herpes infection depends on the type of the first manifestations of the disease and is aimed at preventing secondary complications and reducing symptomatic manifestations of the disease. In the respiratory form kombiferon injected intramuscularly (recombinant ά– and γ–interferon) – 1 cm3 per 100 kg live weight for 5 days or izamben (amizon) – 1 g per 100 kg body weight for 3 days. In the mass outbreaks of respiratory disease in foals good therapeutic effect is serum mares convalescents, which is used subcutaneously at a dose of 0.5 – 1 cm3 per 1 kg of live weight for 3 days.

Must conducted one such antibiotic drugs: intramitsyn, penbenks, lincomycin hydrochloride at a dose of 4 – 5 cm3 per 100 kg live weight for 3 – 4 days. The best results can be obtained with the use of antibiotics previously tested on sensitivity to conditionally microflora. After treatment of horses should be exempt from work 7 – 10 days, contributing to a full recovery. If you own inability animals stand, to prevent bedsores, and raise their fixed with supporting band, horses placed between two wooden bars in a box. In symptomatic treatment should also massage the limbs. In the first form of genital conduct inspection of the udder and genitals. In an open cervix, metritis and endometritis presence necessary to lavage the uterus with saline. This once daily should be washed with warm womb of 0.9% solution of sodium chloride until the solution to that is poured out becomes transparent.
