Veterinary sanitary assessment of mutton after application of antihelminth feed additive with albendazole

Abstract

This study assessed the anthelminthic feed additive albendazole effect on the main indicators of the quality of sheep meat obtained from infected and deworming animals. A total of 20 heads of Akzhaik meat and wool sheep (i.e. 2 years of age, of different sex) were used in a 20-day experiment and 2 groups of 10 heads were formed (n = 4). The sheep were fed with the basic diet (i.e. control, group CON), without adding anything, and the second group was fed the basic diet orally with the addition of a dose of 1.2 g / head (an experimental group). At the end of the experiment, a control slaughter was carried out from each group in order to study the biochemical composition of meat and its quality. The anthelmintic feed additive albendazole did not have a significant effect on the indicators (organoleptic and physicochemical) of meat quality (P> 0.04). However, the ratio of fat and ash in the meat of the control group has differences in indicators and is reduced by 24.81% and 0.03%, respectively. The drug had a significant effect on the biological value of meat in the experimental group, where there is a higher content of essential amino acids (P = 0.06), nonessential (P = 0.05) concentrations in comparison with the CON groups. The results obtained show that the meat of the experimental groups of sheep, when using the anthelminthic feed additive albendazole, did not have a significant effect on organoleptic parameters, but significantly positively influenced the metabolism, live weight gain and biological value of meat.

Effectiveness of Antimicrobial Preparations for the Sanitation of the Udder of Dairy Cows

“…In recent years, the requirements for the sanitary quality of produced milk have increased. The quality of milk and its safety depend on various factors and are determined by a variety of indicators (Blowey and Edmondson 2010;de Jong et al 2018;Babich et al 2022;Aitpayeva et al 2024). The most important sanitary indicators are the degree of purity, bacterial contamination, the number of somatic cells, and the presence of subclinical mastitis (Karpenko 2015;Javed et al 2021;Beishova et al 2023).…”

Safe Technologies of Prophylactic Disinfection in the Presence of Animals

“…It has been established that with timely monitoring and preventive measures, it is possible to improve the resistance and productivity of farm animals and to prevent various infectious and invasive diseases (Narbayeva et al, 2016;Tanbayeva et al, 2016;Aitpayeva et al, 2022).…”
